What is on the screen?

Can you get a console login?

If you can only see an X login,

(a) can you move the mouse?

(b) can you login?

(c) can you switch to a console screen?

Is the console screen frozen?

Does pressing return reprint the prompt?

Replugging in PS/2 devices is not always successful. Do you have USB keyboard and mouse?

This is, of course, the time you wished you had enabled getty on a serial port.
