that's a very generic description of the problem. you should check if its hardware failure or just your OS being stupid. download a linux live cd and try to boot it. if it works, its probably another just some software problem. run a malware scan and see if that helps. if not, its likely theres a hardware problem
have you messed with any firmware recently? any major updates?
on the flip side, has there been any physical harm to the computer recently? have you bumped it or dropped it lately?
more information would definitely help us help you

Run HiJack This too just in case of malware.
