Suggest: Boot with an install CD/DVD in rescue mode. Mount your file system (this should happen automagically) edit /mnt/sysimage/etc/inittab Set your default runlevel to 3 (currently it is set to 5) quit the rescue, and reboot your hard drive.
Now you will have the shell available to debug what goes wrong when you command 'startx'
