    Does this happen in safe mode?

    When you turn it on keep tapping the F8 key, in the menu choose safe mode and hit enter.

    If it does you should be in your desktop. you first get a restore ooption try this and go back to the day it was working fine.

    Had you installed any programs or any new hardware prior to this happening also?
