Antonio,

You can try booting into recovery mode using the procedure:

I normally need to enter the root password to get to a prompt. When  
you get to a prompt, look at the file Thomas pointed you toward:

/var/log/Xorg.0.log.

It will normally give you some lines that have (EE) near to the  
beginning that are useful for debugging.
