Boot problem in Ubuntu

Question

Yesterday night I directly shutdown my computer by pressing the shutdown key from the keyboard. This morning when I started my computer, a purple screen appears, then Ubuntu logo loads but it doesn't go to the login screen, instead a black screen with a cursor on upper left screen appears, and then nothing happens. I am new to Ubuntu. Please help me fix this problem without having to reinstall Ubuntu.

Try pressing the Shift key right after the BIOS screen, do you get the recovery menu? — Mitch, Aug 26 '13 at 06:03

What happens when you type sudo startx in terminal? – Mitch Aug 26 '13 at 08:44
At the end it says : fetal server error. No screens found. Plz consult The X.Org foundation support for help. Also check log file at:/var/log/xorg.o.log for additional information – rosanbhandary Aug 26 '13 at 08:51
