This is a common problem with hardware conflicts. Did you recently add any hardware or hardware drivers?
Did you recently add any new software? Sometimes new software adds itself to the start menu, and if there is a problem, it can cause the problem you described.
Try starting in safe mode. If it starts up fine in safe mode then you may have a problem described above. While in safe mode, uninstall recently installed software or hardware drivers. Then try restarting normally.

Turn it off, unplug it take the battery out and put it back in after about ten seconds. Restart it. Mine did that once and that's what I did to fix it.
