As a temporary fix try pressing the power on/off button. NOT the power plug.
One normal restart sometimes fixers a lot of problems.

Adding to shakey's post------Hold the power on button in for at least four
seconds.
If on next boot you still have the problem go to control
panel --system--advanced tab and turn off reboot on error which will enable
you to trap/diagnose the error.

You may need to reposition/reset the RAM sticks in their slots.
Have a look in the Event Viewer for error messages(X) that can shed some
light and post it back in your next post by performing the following and also
the System File Checker (SFC) sfc /scannow:
Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.
