   	Well if you cannot boot up from the fixed disk have you tried using an   
   installation media?  PCLinuxOS for example has a lot of useful tool. to help   
   recover a problematic system.  If a system can be booted up then you have   
   a chance to correct the problems with the install if it is not a hardware   
   problem.  Hardware problem include a failing fixed disk and/or Graphical   
   Processing Unit which has been assigned a bad or improper driver.   
   In the PCLinuxOS forum failure to choose the correct GPU driver   
   usually a nVidia card, is a frequent complaint.
