boot to recovery root console and run:

sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nv nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean

This will force your system to use the vesa failsafe driver. You can then use:

gksudo jockey-gtk

and install the proprietary driver.

Can you help with this problem?
