SharePoint just stoped working?

Question

Hi,
I have installed Share Point 2013 SP1 (with SQL Express) on a Windows 2012 r2 computer. It worked great on Friday but today monday it is dead!?
I have remoted the Windows 2012 and tried to visit the pages from within IIS and I have restarted the computer but nothing works? I have checked the even log and there is some problems but its about updates for the sharepoint that can´t be done(probably
becouse the sharepoint server is down).
So how do I go about to find the problem?
BestRegards
Jimmy
PS. I have worked with both IIS and Windows services before so this is not new to me.

Hi,
There was a lot of updates so I runned the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard and after a while I get this :
Configuration Failed
One or more configuration settings failed. Completed configuration settings will not be rolled back. Resolve the problem and run this configuration wizard again. The following contains detaljed information about the failure :
Failed to register SharePoint services.
an exception of type System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException was thrown. Additional Exception information : Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed.
To diagnose the problem, Review the application event log and the configuration log file located at :
In the log I can see this :
09/02/2014 11:05:12  11  ERR                  Task services has failed with an unknown exception
09/02/2014 11:05:12  11  ERR                  Exception: System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed.

And some more. I have tried to restart the websites in IIS. SharePoint Administration and SharePoint VSS Writer services is not running.
I did notice that I only got 200 MB left on the C disc so I fixed that and runned the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard again, still the same problem.
