I thought to update to Backbox 3.13 and I realized that there was some issue with Xserver. I could get past the splash but my monitor would shut off. The odd thing is that I could still drop to a shell and reboot . Anyway, I decided to go back Backbox 13.09 and this boots up fine and installs fine,(well, I did need to reinstall grub, but no big deal) just for some reason, it hangs after logging in after the first mass update.
I am comfortable in Linux, but this is making me wonder what would cause this behaviour? I would think that it would all run and have some static problem. I have superb specs for a Linux box. Is there a solution for this? I was looking and asking the oracle (google) and I fell upon this...

Let me get logs of the last updates. I was wondering is this is ATI fglrx related. However, if that is the case, I would think that it wouldn’t work at all or colours would be off(or something understandable).

Let me know please if you have a solution or have experienced this before.
Thanks.
Oh an yes, I have reinstalled as per the above link (Which I think it a terrible/give up solution for this.) and still haven't seen any changes.
Cheers!
