Your PC is set to go to runlevel 5 at boot - X windows. You need to edit
/etc/inittab and change the line that has initdefault in it, changing the 5
to a 3 because runlevel 3 is full multiuser text mode.
This change only takes effect next time you boot, but you can just say
telinit 3
as root to switch runlevels without rebooting,
