If you are not seeing anything at all, even nothing at the POST screen (the one that comes up first when you start the computer) then the problem might be out of the scope of Ubuntu.
You should check the BIOS settings if it is possible to deactivate the built-in graphics chip. Also it might be a good idea to look for BIOS updates. If that still down not give you any screen output, you should consider the fact, that the card might be malfunctioning.

In the case that you can see the startup process and just the desktop environment is not loading or not visible, please provide as with more details of the card. The best help for us would be the manufacturer (for example: ATI, AMD, nVidia) and type of the graphics chip on the card. If you don't have that, give as the exact model name of the card!

Can you help with this problem?
