That depends what you did since it last booted into KDE. If you press crtl+alt+f1 and login as root and type
Code:
init 5
does KDE start? you may need to press ctrl+alt+f7 to get to the GUI.

1) Did you ever install a video driver?

2) have you had a recent update to the kernel?

if so then you must reinstall the video driver.

I second that. Execute startx command and post error message here, if any.
Post your machine's specs too.
