Windows 8.1 Black screen + flickering mouse after update

So, my Windows 8.1 Computer announced that it needed to update, so I hit "Update and Shutdown". Normally, everything would be Ay-Okay, but apparently not this time.


This time, whenever I boot my computer the following happens:


1) I get a black screen with a flickering mouse, no displays.


2) When I plug it into my TV via HDMI, same result, just on both screens.


I've tried booting into safe mode, but I still get a blank screen.


I'm really at wits end here, and nobody elses issues that I've seen match this.


TO CLARIFY: The error happens AFTER the POST boot. I see a Windows 8 Splash-Screen, loading bar/circle thing, and then just a black screen.


What's happening to my PC, and how can I fix it (without safemode, because that's not working, either).
