I have an ATI 9200SE AGP video card, and now my system won't boot to Linux. It boots to Windows fine, so I know it's not a hardware problem. I had an old SpeedStar A90 AGP card in it, when I did the install, and last night the card burnt up. When ever Ubuntu loads, I can see the status bar, and once it gets to the desktop it stops loading, as if the monitor is turned off. As soon as I press the power button on the computer, I see the shut down log. Any suggestions?

I just tried to boot to the LiveCD and recovery console with no luck...

I'm downloading Ubuntu 7.10, and going to try that. Right now I have 8.04.
