I get the same thing after I installed either of these Mint 13 KDE & Cinn., Kubuntu. I installed re-installed numerous times, tried this and tried that.
Still not booting.

Had a spare hard drive that I thought I would hook up, and install the above OS on. Keeping my Ubuntu on it's own drive just in case. I did disconnect sata and power wires and then plug them into my spare drive.

my mate said it could be my drivers for my video card

It could be, it's the first thing I'd consider (updating the kernel in the recovery mode terminal might help).

However, in my opinion, ubuntu is to slow on a netbook and I suggest you try either xubuntu or lubuntu.
