Do you mean the runlevel? If so, are you sure that you changed it correctly?
Centos 7 doesn't use runlevels set in inittab like previous versions did. I see that fact is actually noted in /etc/inittab, along with the expected way to do it.
Frank,
Yes, you are correct, I changed the run level and not boot level to 5 and did so by using the command :
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
Also, I appreciate everybody's input on this, but I am still at a loss as to how to fix this. Without being able to reboot, it sure makes the set up difficult.
Does anyone else have any ideas??

I have tried some additional changes that have not made a difference.
I disabled selinux - that made no difference I stopped and disabled firewalld - that made no difference.
I can boot this machine after I turn it off and then back on, but when I try to do a shutdown now -r, the system hangs right after picking the OS that is desired "CentOS Linux..........".
After the machine is turned off the boot process occurs normally after this choice and I get two penguins in the upper left hand corner, and the boot proceeds. When I do a shutdown now -r, I do not get to the penguins and the machine hangs forever until I either unplug it or press the power button for 5 seconds.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Greg
Everyone,
I did not get much of a response on the list so I filed a bug report. I wanted to document the bug report for anyone else that is having a reboot problem.

Seems little point in filing a bug report when you have no idea what the issue is. Bugs are not a means of troubleshooting nor a support forum. However, you did get my attention so lets see if we can stimulate some further interest in troubleshooting this.
So the system will perform a cold reboot, but not a warm reboot. Sounds like a hardware issue to me.
Any clues in /var/log/messages ?
Tried updating the BIOS?
Any hardware firmwares being loaded?
Ned,
Thanks for your response!!!
Sorry, if posting a bug report was the wrong venue !!!
There are no messages in the message logs that I could identify as problems, but the system fails before the OS is active.
I have not updated the BIOS, and do not know how to do this... but this is my testing machine so I am more than open to doing this. I am using a Gateway SX2855-UB12P. I will take a look at the Gateway site; if there are tutorials you could point me to I would appreciate it.
You'd have to check the Gateway website to see if a bios update is available to download for your model. Instructions are normally included / available.
The only hardware that has been added has been a usb ethernet connection so that I have the motherboard nic card and the usb nic connection.
Just to eliminate the easy option first, does unplugging the USB ethernet adapter (before rebooting) solve the problem?
wanted to use this setup to test the firewalld capabilities for a network gateway. The machine does not have a monitor, and is without a mouse or keyboard.
It should be noted that this machine previously had CentOS 6 with a 3T Seagate drive that worked without a problem, but recently developed a disc failure. I replaced the drive with a 4T WesternDigital drive and installed CentOs 7.0 from a DVD.
I wouldn't think the drive swap would make a difference.
Thanks again for your help!!!
