Thanks; well a cursory glance seems to indicate that the results are normal.
Next time you boot, when the GRUB menu comes up and the entry for Ubuntu is highlighted press "e" to edit.
Navigate using the cursor to the line that ends with quiet splash and add nomodeset so that it looks like this: quiet splash nomodeset (note the space). Then "Ctrl" + "x" to boot. If this gets you in, try reinstalling the drivers and/or downloading additional drivers via the Proprietary Hardware menu.
Let us know if this helps.
EDIT: this link should also help:

You may want to also boot an older kernel and then try the settings in the link above.
