I have a sony vaio laptop from 2011. Was trying to install an update and the computer shut down and never started back up again so I started it and now it won't boot. When I turn it on it goes straight to "loading windows files" and then goes to startup repair which can't find a solution. I've gone into the advanced solutions and system restore and everything won't work. Solution??

Hopefully your important files are safe in one of your backups so a factory restore shouldnt be too problematic.

Sounds like windows got messed up with an update. It happens. So you have tried doing a system restore? does it fail or does it complete but still won't boot?

It doesn't even recognize a place to do a system restore in the startup repair. I'm trying to find my windows 7 disc. I'm fine with losing all my stuff, I don't have anything important I just need this to boot up again lol.

yea try a factory restore. If that doesn't work then you could have a bad hard drive or some other bad hardware.
