Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by this:

You can try setting some parameters at boot time:

when i said " live" i meant that i put that in to make it run form the usb

That's confusing...

I don't think you understand. "startx" starts the X window manager, which is what the entire GUI rests upon. Also, if you hold down 'esc' for too long during the purple screen, it will leave graphic mode and enter text mode. Are you sure you didn't do this?

Also, could you give us a link to your computer on Amazon or its manufacturer's page? If its a graphics card issue, this can help us.

I had this problem when running the Lubuntu 64 bit Live CD. I had to restart the Live CD and pump F6 and choose nomodeset to get the graphics to work. Then it looked funny, but it did run. I didn;t install Lubuntu so I can't tell you if you will have problems installing it from there or not. Good luck.
