Not at the computer, but think the key combo is CTRL SHFT Backspace. To kill the window manager. Or you can try CTRL F2 to get another session window. Then you type login at the prompt and your root credentials. I usually end up googling the steps and keeping a live disk handy to boot to, if I need to repair something.

If you can tell me how to do that I am willing to try. I get my ABIT
screen when Nvidia normally comes up a unexpected error screen flashes

screen with a flashing curser no way to login that I know of. GUI is
still my friend. Thank you but a little more help is needed.
