down about 2 days ago and when I tried to turn it back on I am getting a
small window with a big RED X and two buttons one yes and one no and no
matter which I click it logs me off the computer.

Can you get into Safe Mode? Do this by repeatedly tapping the F8 key as
the computer is starting up. This will get you to the right menu.
Navigate using your Up arrow key; the mouse will not work here.

If you can get into Safe Mode, start by scanning for viruses and malware:

If you can't get into Safe Mode, from the same menu try Last Known Good
Configuration.
