I would think so. Have you tried Steve Flynn's suggestion of trying to
press CTRL+ALT+1 after booting in safe graphics mode and getting the

If you get a simple login prompt, which is responsive, then your
machine hasn't locked up only the Xserver (the GUI).

Knowing this will help with further diagnosis .
