Remove the Battery and leave it out for about 2mins. Insert the battery and see if works. If this does not work, you can attempt the OS update again but this time with the battery out. When the process gets to "Loading Applications" insert the battery and let it go through to the end.

I hope you have a previous backup since you may not be able to retrieve your data
