Please use punctuation when you write. Thinks not english native speakers read this, and it makes things worse.
Check if proprietary driver is activated and used if you have Nvidia card.
Boot on second line "Recover" then "sanfailSafeX" and then change windows manager from "Ubuntu" to "Classic without effects".
If Nvidia, go to System->Administration->Nvidia Settings and force rewriting of configuration.
This worked for me.
