dunno what's wrong, but i'd try this:

CTRL+ALT+F1, then login at that terminal. then run the commands

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo defoma-reconfigure -f
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude upgrade
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

you may want to write those down cause gnome (and your browser) are gonna disappear until you run the last command
