  Help with the server X

  Well first at all...sorry for this thread guys but I´m really tired after 1 week and yes, I know that I´m noob =(
  
  Some university friends and I want to learn about IT security and the school is simple dont give us nothing
  in this field, so we decide to start here. The problem is that I cant install BackTrack in my desktop, after a
  "sucesfull" instalation I reboot my comp and after that when I want go to the GUI mode with startx (yes,
  after login with root) the system show me the next message:
  
  (EE) intel (0): No valid modes.
  (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
  Fatal server error: no screens found
  ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log
  xinit: No such file or directory (errno2): unable to connect to X server
  Xinit: No such process(errno3):Server error.
  
  I think that was some problem with the x server so I try some options after login with root, I will try to resume my failed solutions:
  -----------------------------
  tel init 5
  
  The program 'tel' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: apt-get install orville-write. You will have to enable the component
  called 'universe'
  
  So we install tel and then run again tel init 5 but we get this:
  
  No such tty
  -----------------------------
  twm
  
  The program 'twm' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: apt-get install orville-write. You will have to enable the component
  called 'universe'
  
  So I install tel and then run again tel init 5 but we get this:
  
  Unable to open display ""
  ----------------------------
  gnome-session
  
  **(gnome-session:1381):WARNING **: Cannot open display
  ----------------------------
  apt-get install X* Xorg*
  
  And here I got a massive mesagges code like the matrix...
  
  I get infinite mesagges for about 10 mins and I reboot the comp several times with the same results:
  
  Note, slecting (a lot of code with some like IP numbers, X* mesagges but we cant read a single file, the display
  send like 100 lines per second and I think that was cycling).
  -----------------------------
  Yep I already try to quit the backtrack of the partion, reinstall again, try with different DVD, download again,
  etc....always is the same so now I think that is a prob of hardware but I dont know what to do or even
  where can I start =/
  
  I´m trying with a desktop with windows 7 (I´m installing back track in a different partion with automatic
  settings) architecture 64x and I are giving 400 Gb.
  
  My ISO is with gnome...I already try to install KDE but the system send me a mesage of dont find the X server
  or something like that.
  
  So now please guys help me if you can =) You were helping a noob but with real desire to learn, and yep
  sorry if I do a very jerk question but I already try it 1 week with no solution.
  
  Thank for your time and sorry for the bad english too.
  
  P.D. My comp is a Gateway 64x, model SX2840 intel core i5 650 @ 3.20GHz, 6 GB RAM DDR3 and 1TB HD
