It appears that your graphics hardware is incompatible with Gnome 3.
Gnome normally has a fallback mode for these situations, but that
doesn't seem to work for you.

You could try a different desktop environment. E.g. run 'sudo apt-get
install xfce4' on the command prompt and then try startx again.
