Here is something similar to your problem:

Can you reboot from terminal?

1. Open terminal - Alt+Ctrl+F1
2. Login
3. Reboot: "sudo shutdown -r now" - will ask your passwd.

If you can, then there is something wrong with X/Gnome. But it will be 
really hard to say what.

You also can try to re-configure your X like this:

"sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" - just follow the questions.

But before that take backup for your working X!

"sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup"
