Have you recently tried to install anything new or did you let it update itself via app store to mavericks 10.9.3 if so try booting with -v -f and see if it goes if not get us a picture of the text and where its hanging for a few moments for further assistance
 
I'm no expert but that certainly looks like a corrupted hard drive to me. You could try repairing it with Disk Utility from the Unibeast installer and see if it can repair it. If not try reinstalling OSX.

You running dual boot at all?

And as soon as that shows it instantly turn off my PC :banghead:
Yes clipper99 is correct it is a corrupted hard drive problem you can give it a try to repair it with disk utility from the unibeast installer but I'm going to tell you now that when you booted up and got this screen disk utility was already loaded and trying to repair it I hate to say it but you will have to reformat it and reinstall fresh I hope you've been doing some form of back up method because this happened to me once and that's the exact screen I was getting and since disk utility couldn't already repair it it's like you won't be able to do it from the installer either
 
Gave it to my brother because he wanted some movies. :/

So grab yourself a cheap Snow Leopard install disk. Then you can get the installer back and recreate the unibeast stick. Only thing to remember is that it must be a retail disk and not one of the grey ones that came supplied with some Macs.

The retail version can be had very cheap indeed.
