If this fails, try to boot into single user mode: Esc during the Grub message, choose "recovery mode" option. Once you are logged in, one of the best places to look for clues is in the dmesg files. sudo less /var/log/dmesg There should be some more specific info on the type of error your system is experiencing towards the end of the file.
