Ive been using autopsy for the last few days, today when i turned my computer on i went to boot up autopsy to continue my lessons and it wont turn on. i go to boot it the red bar at the bottom move up to loading modules and then just stops and exits.

Have you installed any third party modules? Regardless, I would try deleting the .autopsy folder from your home directory and running it again. Note that this will delete all your settings/keyword lists/hashsets/etc.
