It looks like you have some file corruption here.

Go to the data directory and delete everything there except for the wallet.dat file. Backup the wallet.dat file to a safe place because that is the wallet and it contains everything you need to spend your Bitcoin. By deleting everything else, you will be doing a full resync which can take several hours depending on your computer and internet speed. It should fix your problem though.

I'm getting the following error in the debug.log at startup. The splash windows shows it stuck at the "Activating best chain..." stage.

Code:
2016-03-22 11:29:31 UpdateTip: new best=00000000000000b9f7b4bfaee1287b3e51fd534cdb30f42c482dfff7f714f6d3  height=237053  log2_work=70.080714  tx=18132304  date=2013-05-20 12:10:02 progress=0.072438  cache=32.1MiB(25880tx)
2016-03-22 11:29:31 ERROR: CheckBlock(): hashMerkleRoot mismatch

Are there any files I should delete/reset to get this resolved?
