Screen stuck displaying garbage 5 minutes after install

[jimdevlin]

Hi all,

Brand new to Ubuntu.

I was hoping I could get some help.

I just installed Ubuntu on a new machine.

After 5 minutes of browsing around, the screen suddenly turned into this garbage (see attached image). It is stuck like this after restarting too.

I rebooted from the usb install disk (live CD on USB stick) and everything looks lovely from there so it is not a hardware issue.

Right before the screen suddenly turned to garbage, I was part way through installing proprietary drivers but don't think any of them had even finished downloading.

I am using
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Intel Atom D2700 CPU
Intel NM10 chipset
Intel GM3650 GPU

I might just re-install but am afraid it will just happen again right away.

Is there a way of changing the graphics settings to something very basic from the command line by editing a file, since I have access to the file system via my live CD/USB version of Ubuntu? If I even new which files these were I could copy over them from the live CD/USB installation.

Any help/suggestions greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jim

Hi, If everything looks good when you boot the live CD and this mess you
have when you attempted to load some drivers, I wold say..it most likely is
the drivers you were loading that caused it. What drivers were you loading??
