Clarifications

Because from the wealth of information you've just supplied you could be talking about your TV.

Could we perhaps have a bit more detail?

Make and model of computer?
How old is it?
Operating system?
What screen do you mean? What does it 'say'?

What was the last thing you did before turning it off?

Any number of things can mess up and cause the POST process to stop.

As Mycroft stated, we can help you more with more information.

Is this a new system?
Did you make any recent changes?
Have you had any problems with the system?

The most common causes for a POST lock-up include:

Device conflicts. Any new cards added?
Memory problems.
CPU problems.

all drive power and data connections
video adapter
memory

Retry boot.

If system appears to be doing something, replace video card and reboot.

Reset bios rom to factory defaults, typically by pulling jumper or cmos battery

reinstall components until boot sequence failure cause is identified.

Does the bios freezes, and gets some unusual colored artifacts? That would mean the video card is problematic.
