Hmm.
I think we need a bit more info 
- are you running in text mode (init 3) or a graphical desktop (init
5)?
- when you say the console, do you mean that - or do you mean at any
prompt, or at any time with the X display running?
- WHat prompts/messages appear on your console before you press
'enter'?
- what does tail -100 /var/log/messages tell us?
