If I restart it, I keep getting the following message.

incorrect or no genesis block found. Incorrect data folder for the network?

Is your bitcoin client sharing its data directory with another instance of bitcoin or with an altcoin? Each one needs to be independent of any others, or they will conflict., Try closing Bitcoin-Qt and running "bitcoin-qt -reindex" to reindex the blocks on disk and see if it helps. Be patient, it may take quite a while.

In that case, either a reindex will fix it, or the blockchain on your computer has been corrupted somehow (either during the download or on the disk, though both are unlikely) and you'll need to redownload it. Either way, it's a relatively simple fix, it'll just take a while to run.
