Strange as this is the same GPU to my one (can you run the following command to make sure?)
~$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400M GS] (rev a1)

What kind of boot experience do you get?
Did you alter any of the grub files? if so you will have to comment these out and update-grub.

can you type:

cat /proc/fb

If it says 0 VESA VGA then VESA is loaded and you may have to play around with mode_option=1280x800-32, else it may be that you have uvesafb blacklisted somewhere. In that case you need to check the blacklist files in modprobe.d directory.

There may be something in the dmesg log so check this as well.
