your session is only losted less than 10 seconds. if you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you be out of disk space. Try logging with one of fail safe sessions to see if u can fix this problem.

The details are
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default:Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/etc/X11/gdm/Presession/Default:running:/usr/bin/X11/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u

On this Problem if any body having solution plz help me by giving the reference and solution too

Looks like you have a bad GUI or X-windows configuration, his happens alot when ATI or nVidia video interfaces are part of the system. The short term fix is to boot into runlevel three;

When the grub splash screen is display press any key
Select the Linux boot choice then press the 'e' key
Select the kernel line and press the 'e' key again
At the end of the line add a space followed by the number 3
When done press the 'Enter' key followed by the 'b' key

Log on as root and type something like;

system-config-display --reconfig --set-resolution=800x600 --set-depth=16

This should give you a fairly generic graphics sessions which you can test by typing: startx

Also use the typed command lspci -v to find out which video card you have, if nVidia or ATI then you may want to search this forum for solutions.

And on top of what Lenard said: it's always a bad idea to
run a GUI as root. Do you have a personal account on that
machine as well? Does it have the same issues?
