I recently downloaded Ubuntu 10.04, works perfectly on my laptop but ran into problems with my desktop. The Live CD doesn't start. I get the bootloader where you can select the language etc but when I choose to start the Live CD I get a black screen with white strips

This stays like that until I use the reset button.
I already tried to install it using the text based installer. That works (I can install Ubuntu) but I get the same problems when I try to boot the system in GUI.
I also read something about force VESA but that didn't work either.
Also someone solved his problem by installing a previous version of Ubuntu and then upgraded to the most recent. That didn't work for me because I just got the same problem (black screen white stripes) with my old Ubuntu 9.04 cd.
I'm almost certain it has something to do with my GPU, but I don't have one signal clue where to start now. I have a ATI Radeon 2900GT, Intel E670 2.66GHz and 2GB DDR2 RAM.
I hope someone can help me with this problem. I really want to force me a bit to work with Ubuntu but this problem isn't really helping me switching.
Thx in advanced ;)
