Won’t start properly

I keep getting “ You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again.” But it just goes to the same place and states the same thing. Only other thing on screen is a list starting with ‘panic’ and talking about version mis match between kernel and cpu. It happened after an update.
