After much soul searching, I was finally able to start in safe mode and did System Restore before Metro Install. It saved me, computer started up fine, I deleted local steam Content Metro.
I have ATI, I don't know what happened at install. I think my drivers for ATI got deleted? Did nvidia physx drivers mess it up? I don't know. I am currently downloading from steam the entire game.
I hope it does not happen again. If it does do I just go back to system restore points in safe mode??
Dont't know what to do next
Thanks for your advice and help
As for Blue screen, no error message at all, the computer simply went BLUE death, and started/re-booted in Blue death after initial logo etc....Is it F8 to go to Safe mode Options??

Well I bet it must be having to do something with those drivers.
Have you tried running tests from the DirectX Diagnostic Tool?
I updated windows, re-installed, went to steam directory and re-installed thru Metro folder like it says on steam forums.
Got the Blue screen of Death, now once again windows does not start.
Going back to safe mode to System restore, and shredding the game!!
I think its ATI video card and drivers?
Thanks anyways guys
Driver problem IMO.
During the blue screen, do you see any filename mentioned? Any .sys or .dll file?
This will help you locate which drivers have got corrupt. You can fix this issue by a simple update/re-install. But always roll-back the previous drivers when you attempt an install.
Also have you installed multiple drivers, I mean different drivers for the same piece of hardware like Graphic Card? This should never be done. In this case, roll-back the drivers, and re-install the correct drivers (Latest version, should support your hardware model).
Also outdated drivers can also be an issue. Update them.
