Try the following:
Boot the computer and begin pressing the F8 key. You should get a page that allows you to select either Safe Mode or Last Know Good as the profile for booting. Hopefully one of them will allow you to boot up. Usually getting it booted once either way will resolve the problem.
If not, then you have corrupted something on the hard drive that is preventing Windows from being able to load. At that point you are probably looking at a reinstall of Windows.
If you have data (pictures, music, documents, etc) on the hard drive that you want, you can try put the drive into another computer as a second hard drive (unplug the CD drive and plug your hard drive in in its place). You should be able to see the drive and copy off any files you need. (Do not bother to copy the programs, just reinstall them).

Boot either in Safe Mode or with the Last Known Good Configuration.

try to run in save mode or last known good configration, if not works, reinstall windows, if you need our data you can install windows without formating.

boot it in safe mode, and if possible, use system restore and go to an earlier time where it was fine
