Changed the default runlevel 5 to 3 file is /etc/inittab

after changed runlevel give this cmd for update inittab file.

# init q


after changed runlevel try this cmd

# start x


Your X configuration is probably broken.
So you try to in console give this cmd.

# startx or init 5






Boot runlevel 3.

Open the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with the following cmd
vim  /etc/X11/xorg.conf

scroll down until you see the section called "Device"

press i to enter insert mode...edit the "Device" Section so it looks something like this:

Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "VESA driver (generic)"
VideoRam 8192


your adapter may be different than what is above
 save and exit
Once that is done try starting x with startx

Hopefully that will get you to where X will start without killing the monitor.
