Actually there are two bugs here - one is the splash screen and X crash, the other is the gdm restart loop. The latter is bug #441638 and is in progress. Let's ignore that and focus on the underlying issue of why X crashed to begin with.
Unfortunately, the gdm bug is going to make it difficult for you to diagnose the problem, so you may want to simply shut it off (/etc/init.d/gdm stop) and then start X from the console using 'startx'. In any case, what we need you to collect is a full backtrace. Guidance on how to collect full backtraces is available at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing/.
