    Graphics Card and Driver Problems

    OK. so I'm new to Ubuntu, and with some help from a friend I've got almost everything up and running. The only thing that I'm having problems with is a PCI input nVidia 6200 graphics card. I have the driver all installed, but i can't run ubuntu through this specific card.

    Well the only way i can get ubuntu to come up is in the low graphics version, with my on-board set as my primary adapter. Currently there are no other PCI slots being used, and the Card was working just fine yesterday before i put Ubuntu on my computer. But when i try to get Ubuntu to load with my card set as the primary adapter, it goes to the load screen and stops maybe 10% of the way, it freezes here and just doesn't move past it. I have tried recovery mode as well, but the code that comes up on the black screen also freezes as well.
