Found this:

Hi,

1. Have you made any recent changes to computer prior to the issue?
2. Do you receive any error message?
3. Are you able to boot to safe mode?

Refer the below link to Start your computer in safe mode
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...r-in-safe-mode

Perform the following methods.

Method 1: Refer the following articles and perform the steps:
Windows Vista or Windows 7 no longer starts and the Startup Repair tool does not fix the problem

How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

Method 2: Perform System restore from safe mode.

If the issue persists, you may require a windows installation disk to
repair the computer or you will have to contact HP support for assistance.

Note: Performing a fresh/clean installation of windows will erase the previously saved data on your computer.
