Try this:
When you boot your computer after POST, continually press the esc key
every half second until you get the GRUB boot menu.
With the top entry highlighted, press the "e" key to edit the line.
Select the kernel line and hit "e" again.

At the end of the kernel line, remove any of the words like "splash",
"quiet", "rhgb" - and *add* the words, "single nomodeset" - then hit
the enter key and then "b" to boot it.

Does that work? If so, try running "X -configure" from here and see if it works.
