Just several thoughts:
1) Did you tried on different login, not only root, on this box?
2) Usually if there were some customization on .xsession file, that 
might cause some issues on X windows login
3) can you ssh to it, then use ps command to see what was hanging there 
- with which user/login? Sometime that might reveal some threads on what 
was going on...
4) Check the cron job list if you have created something there
5) Always consult your /var/log for further details

Thanks,

Liyun Yu
