I came into this bug report from my personal report #583660, which seems to be quite similar, or maybe a duplicate.

Today I tried to add "GdmXserverTimeout=60" into the "[daemon]" section
of /etc/gdm/custom.conf. From that moment on, gdm won't start anymore
nor at boot nor at command line (sudo start gdm). Then I needed to
remove that configuration line to get gdm work again (only from the
command line).

I found into my log files the same error as above You reported:
(EE) Jun 22 14:43:47 NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the
(EE) Jun 22 14:43:47 NVIDIA(0): system's kernel log for additional error messages and
(EE) Jun 22 14:43:47 NVIDIA(0): consult the NVIDIA README for details.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration

But when I run GDM from command line, no error is issued.

Today, the automatic check of disks performed a chkdsk routine at the
boot. After this event, GDM started automatically as one should expect.
I hope this will help You.

(Should I mark my bug #583660 as duplicate of this bug #532436 ???)

Ciao
