Any computer help would be appreciated...

I'm somewhat familiar with the black screen problem. Typically it's one of several Windows services trying to run with improper credentials. The problem is, that usually happens as a result of a virus, so the best thing you can do is make a bootable virus scan and check the computer out. After that comes up clean, running the repair feature on the Windows installation media should fix that problem quickly.

Let me know about the stop codes.
