shut down pc, disconnect/reconnect all your componants cables from the hardware and to the mobo, then see what happens.

have u got any BEEPS from the mobo during the re-boot cycle ???

do u see any screen suggesting hardware failure ie: hdd etc ???

Most likely due to an old? or non compatible version of Alcohol120% for Vista.

Decide emulators install a driver and it will nuke your booting if the OS does not like it.

Safe Mode boot and uninstall for you now!
