Maybe i am a lot confuse, or my bad english lost me in your request, but
try with Ctrl+Alt+F1 or F2 or F3 to start a pure text shell session,
login as root and execute the drakconf utility, maybe you can find
something usefull inside (i understand you can not even see your kde
desktop), probably the problem begun when you shutdown your PC and your
box is not an ATX Case or motherboard, i did face this problem a time
ago with mdk 9.1 but i fix this with the operation i told you above.
Pale, good luck and may the force be with you.
