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.
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. I 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.
Thanks again for your help!!!
Greg
