If safe mode cannot start then you can only try 'System restore'. This can be accessed by choosing 'Repair you PC' from the startup options (same place you select safemode). Choose a date as far back as possible.If this does not work you can 'try' an in place upgrade to maybe repair the OS. I would take an image of the hard drive before attempting this as I've seen it go very wrong. To perform the in place upgrade, insert the OS media and choose "upgrade" rather than custom from the installation choices.
If this does not work then you are looking at a clean install.
Thanks System Restore worked for me...

Try to press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC when you are at the black screen, when you are at windows task manager, then look at the tab "Applications". Press "New Task" and type in: Explorer.exe and hit enter.You should now be able to see the desktop.
Open CMD, and type in this command: sfc /scannow
Hope it helps
I am someone else with the same problem on my pc and when I do that, I get a message that says "windows explorer has stopped working" when I press ok to open windows.exe. also, restoring doesn't help. I am also able to access all my programs through task manager and access the internet with google chrome. But it is really pissing me off.
