This sounds like more video hardware configuration issue than Ubuntu issue. Asking in a hardware- or video-specific forum using a genuinely descriptive topic might attract attention from someone familiar with your uncommon video hardware. "Problem exiting tty1" is not descriptive of your issue. In a hardware or video forum, a current Xorg.0.log is virtually certain to be requested.
I would check the following keywords:
amd <video card name/version> ubuntu driver download/install
and I think you will easily find the latest driver with documentation.
From the other hand without additional information and logs we cannot say anything.
Thank you so much for the information. But I could not find the current Xorg.0.log. I have checked all the directories in ~/.local/share. Is there any location to look for this file please?
I am using Ubuntu 16.04. The system was working fine, However, I didn't use it for about three months.
Why? Because something broke 3 months ago?

Now I tried to use it but the GUI fail to start.
Old logs suggest something breaking before the GUI tries to start. The approach now should probably be to try to update, either using apt to upgrade online:
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
or upgrade offline using installation media to upgrade, rather than install anew.
