I think most of us would like to try to help you troubleshoot via 
email first. And to do that, we need to have more information. 
Here is a good starting point:

- What version of Ubuntu are you running?
- Did you do anything before it quit working? (as already 
  mentioned) This could include performing an Update, installing 
  new software, removing software, changing hardware, etc. Even 
  if you think it is unrelated, please mention it.
- What exactly do you see on the screen when you turn the 
  computer on? Do you see any error messages? Does it look like 
  the Desktop tries to start and flashes, but then fails and 
  closes? etc. Please be as descriptive as possible and include 
  any errors.

Once you have answered those, we may have more questions.
