Acer laptop windows 7 failing to open

Dear community, I am experiencing a problem with my laptop
and I shall send out great karma to anyone that can help.

Model: Acer 6530G Laptop
Operating System: Win 7

Last night I uninstalled Adobe Reader.
I then installed Foxit pdf.
I shut down the computer later on.
Before the computer shut down, it installed windows update config. I have a feeling that the computer died before it finished installing updates.

Now when I start the comp I select my user account, and it shows:

1) Windows explorer has stopped working
2) Host process for windows tasks has stopped working

Then I get a blue screen with no cursor of folders or anything. I tried safe mode with networking. It takes me into windows and and then I can see the start, my folders etc. but I cant load anything such as a folder, file or program.
Please can anyone help?

Costa
