I also faced the same the problem few days ago. I lost my graphics driver. I reinstalled it and everything was fine. Please reinstall the graphics driver.
I hope that will solve the problem.

At the login screen there is sometimes a option at the bottom to what session you want to log into. You may have it set on some failsafe setting or something other then what you want. Try to look there and find what you need.
