i am almost sure that the problem is with the video card, you will need to install the nvidia propietary drivers, as they are not included in the kernel. try to install the drivers just after installing ubuntu, go to System -> Administration -> Hardware, if you still cant install them install ubuntu using the onboard graphic card, then download the nvidia drivers throught the software center. now you just have to install the videocard.

this is my point of view, this may be the problem, but i am not sure.

hope it helps!!!

i removed the nvidia card and installed ubuntu using the onboard card,and it worked properly. many thanks to sebikul.
