Update:

It seemed that the aborted update from Avast was the culprit, PC booted without a problem. Now I'm reinstalling Avast. Although everything seems alright now I think I'm going to get Windows 7 within a couple of weeks or so. It's been over 1,5 years since my last reinstall so it's time for a fresh start.
Yep, that's almost certainly what happened.

I'm liking windows7 myself. I'd say go for the 64 bit version if you can.
