I can click from now until kingdom come and not event a Terminal Window will open. And further I can't even properly log out - I have to shut the PC down by pulling the plug.

Are you saying the screen freezes? Is your desktop visible, or are you 
stuck with the screensaver? What happens if you open a new terminal with 
ctrl-alt-f3?

Check your power-saving settings as well.

Is it a desktop or laptop? If the latter, then Breezy has great laptop 
support.
