Boots into Blinking Cursor and Black Screen After Auto Update

14.04 LTS.
Auto updated, rebooted, bios posts, goes to a black screen with blinking cursor.
Holding shift after Bios post will display the letters GRUB but nothing else.
No other inputs appear to have any effect (tried "alt ->" and "alt<-"; also tried alt+ctrl+f1; and typing my password + enter)
I can still dual boot into Windows.
I can boot into a Live CD but unsure how to fix this.
Last month I had this problem:
After Repairing Deleted Kernel, why would GRUB still not boot into Linux.
I just tried those steps again, shooting in the dark, to no avail.
Please help... What is going on with my Ubuntu install!?
