The 13.37 distribution auto-loads the nouveau kernel module by default for modern Nvidia cards.
Xorg probably isn't loading the correct driver.
try this:
At prompt enter this command:
"vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
Navigate down (arrow keys) to where it has the "Driver Section" and look for this line:
driver "nv"
(or whatever... ususally this is "nv", "nouveau" or "modesetting". The nv and modesetting modules are incorrect for this.) and change the "nv" to "nouveau" (use Insert & Delete keys for this as Backspace doesn't always work in vi well), and the hit ESC to enter command mode in vi, and type in :x to save and exit VI.
Now run "startx" and it should load Xorg normally.
