gvim crashing at startup

When I start gvim, it crashes. Window is showing, but there is nothing in it and soon the WM reports it is not responding.
I am using the latest gvim ( 7.4.86 ).  This happens only on my account, so i have tried to move .vimrc, .vim and .viminfo, but without success.
Can you help me? I really want to know what is preventing gvim from starting.

Re: gvim crashing at startup

If you start gvim from the terminal, is there any output?

Re: gvim crashing at startup

when i start it from terminal, then it doesn't display anything. When i close the unresponding window, then it shows ( in console ) :
E852: The child process failed to start the GUI
Press ENTER or type command to continue
