You may want check the following...
This is under the assumption the menu and applications are still accessible. Since you mentioned being able to access folders etc..

1) Menu - Install drivers see if there are any additional drivers for the video card.
2) Disable light locker (type light locker from menu)
3) Disable lightdm

Searching the forums - some info links:
