You can try booting into Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key at

I second the advice of an Archive and Install if you do have to
reinstall. Make sure you check off the "Preserve users & settings"
checkbox when you do it. This should result in a working system with
all your data and settings, if it does not, then the problem is in
your user data, so you should move your home folder aside and manually
migrate your data back into it taking care to watch for problems along
the way.
If you have any extra drivers installed you're likely going to need to
reinstall them after doing an Archive and Install.
