rebooting with new kernel

[Greg Woods]

If you press CTRL-ALT-F2, do you get a text console login prompt? Can you
ssh to the machine?

If you can get access to the machine through one of these methods, then
look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors. This sounds like a video
driver/configuration problem.
