I just re-installed my Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit and it worked well. But after updating and upgrading by running the commands:
apt-get update and apt-get upgrade the system is now not working after i rebooted it.
After booting it only shows the login interface, when i feed in my password and click enter it does not load the desktop environment, shows a black screen, then a blue screen and stops there.
I have searched on the Internet but can not get an response that is helping me.
Once look at the below link it may help you
Try pressing Ctrl + Alt + F2 and then login again if needed. After that type startx and let us know what happens.
I have tried all these steps but non is working so, i just had to reinstall it.
It has failed to work after pressing Ctrl + Alt + F2 and then login in, running startx.
Sorry to hear that. I hope that everything is working normally now
Yes, thanks too for trying to help i appreciate that.

I always suggest better take backup of important files before doing a upgrade…
That’s a good one Ravi! And very important. Unfortunatelly, I learned it the hard way too!
running sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop did not work either
