It's unable to solve your problem without specifying the problem completely. Would you mind posting the error message ?

You can also try logging into runlevel 3 and do a startx from there. for that press the key 'e' while on the linux entry on grub and append ' 3' to the line which starts with kernel. Then press enter twice.

And please post all your gnu/linux related queries in "Open Source" section only for better attention and replies.

Code:

I think you better buy a ups....

Use a live cd as prakash said... mount your linux partition and chroot into it.
