Is it a desktop or laptop? Please post the model/model number. Did you make any changes just before this happened? Try unplugging the HDD & see if the system boots beyond the Gateway & then says something like "no boot device found".
Seems Windows isn't starting. This is a long shot but worth trying as it has at odd times unstuck computers:
Turn off computer, unplug power cord, remove main battery if it is a laptop. Before restarting hold the Power Off/On button down for at least 20 seconds to discharge the motherboard components.Otherwise see the ideas here:

Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

It may depend on the model but sometimes hitting the TAB key will toggle from the logo screen to the diagnostic screen. If so that may give a clue about the problem.
