Gnome doesn't start (loop login screen)

Hello! After reboot gnome doesn't start and kicks me on lock screen again. journalctl -p err -b shows: Oct 29 20:26:34 archlinux gnome-session-binary[730]: Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.Shell.desktop
But here is the most interesting thing: I CAN login as root. I can create new user and it works. but it doesn't work with my old user. There is another interesting thing, I create new user, copy all home directory from old to new user and new user can't login as well. I delete and create new user again, login, and then delete all files from home directory and new user still can login! WTF it seems gnome keep some user files somewhere. I created in var/lib/AccountsService/users/ for old new similar file as for new user. but it still doesnt work. What's wrong with that??
P.S.
I have Gnome3, Radeon. xorg. If i click on cog icon and choose GNOME on Xorg after login there is just black screen.
