Without knowing what the message was, it's hard to say. Did you install anything or make any changes before shutting down?

If you can boot normally into safe mode, it might be worth using a restore point.

Hi Chan,

Just to expand on Smarteye's post - another thing to try is :

Press F8 repeatedly during POST ( black screen with white writing that appears immediately after you start the machine ).

That should take you to the Advanced boot options screen.

Arrow to Last Known Good Configuration and press Enter.

Hope it helps
