Find out if the machine has really hung or not :-) When you press Caps
Lock, do the keyboard lights change?

Press Control-Alt-F1 -- this will hopefully give you a text-based
login prompt, you'll need to provide your username and password again.
If that works, then the problem is to do with the way Ubuntu is set up
to use your graphics card, which can be investigated and altered.

If you can get the text login working, try to see if networking is
available; try 'ping google.com' and let us know the result.
