Ok, I've tried doing everything in recovery mode to fix this problem but nothing works. While on the ubuntu loading screen the orange bar gets to the very end and when it tries to load the login screen my computer just has a graphical glitch.

My Xorg file only has the following in it

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

But I think the problem is because my intel graphics card is not loading or something along those lines. How can I fix this because reinstall is out of the question. I've customized this so much that if I have to reinstall I'm probably going to switch back to windows.

If you need any more info let me know. I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm not really sure what to do since I cannot get to the login screen and I've done pretty much everything in the recovery menu.

You mention a graphical glitch, what exactly do you mean by that? Is the screen coming up at the wrong resolution or is it blank, etc...? That will help narrow down the problem.

Does your card require the use of restricted drivers? You can check by going to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers. If your card is listed, ensure that it is enabled.

Also, which version of Ubuntu are you currently running?
