After turning on my computer this morning, a small icon informed me that there are new security updates available and that i should download them. So i did, like i have done a 1000 times before. After they were downloaded a window poped up saying that i needed to restart the computer for installation to be complete. I did this, but when the computer was restarting, instead of my usual log in screen appearing, a black screen showed up with the titel...GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT...followed by several numbers and letters. Right now, i can't do anything...the keyboard doesn't work, and i can't restart it in safe mode...

Can anybody help me.....I had to go all the way to my friends house to use his computer to find a way to solve my problem....

Thanks, Newbe
