Get "mosaic" screen when booting with disc

Asked by Nukam

I am currently running Win7 and want to dual boot Ubuntu 10.10 on my computer I am currently running AMD Phenom II X4 940 Processor at 3.0 Ghz, 6gigs of ram, and have a Nvidia GT240.

My issue is that when I boot from the disc I get up to the Ubuntu loading screen and then it shows my background all scrambled and nothing happens, I cant do anything, no windows pop up at all. Is this and issue with my computer or with the disc, or maybe im missing something necessary. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

EDIT: Visual Addition
Booting through the disc, which brings me here:

You are the third one with this issue about NVidia driver. I have to search in previous questions.

Ok, I had to boot with nomodeset enabled but after all the driver updates and what not I still cannot get my correct resolution (1440x900)

I'm not expert in graphic card.
You could build xorg.conf file with following link

and then set the resolution

@Nukam: You'll probably get best results by reopening this question so that people know that it has not yet been satisfactorily answered.

Is the issue my gfx card? I've been seeing troubles with Nvidia cards like mine in Ubuntu lately
