I found this somewhere else and it seemed to help a lot of people:
Unplug the power, remove the battery and then hold the power button for 30 to 60 seconds. Then reattach the power and attempt a boot. It worked for me! Just shutdown, put the battery back in you're good to go. Worked for me so definitely worth a try.

I also suggest starting in safe mode, to see if it's a core issue, or if it's some service or startup program that's causing it. That would help diagnose where the problem is.
