Could be a bad block on your hard drive, try rebooting holding down CMD + V on the keyboard, the screen will go black with white text and you might see the message “disk 0s2 I/O error”, if you see that then it’s time to replace your drive.
If you don’t see it, try rebooting holding down CMD + alt + P + R until you hear the startup chime a second time, then release. If that doesn’t help, try shutting down, remove the power cable for 30 seconds then boot back up again. If that doesn’t help try CMD + R to boot to the recovery partition and reinstall OS X.
