Try ssh ing to the machine while it is at the blue screen. Then kill the
loginwindow process. Most of the time this will bring you to the loging
window.
If this does not work. Try removing /Library/Preferences/
com.apple.loginwindow.plist and restart.
This has worked for me in the past. This still doesn't explain why it is
happening, sorry.
