What video chip do you use?
Does the system have a make and model?

I have no idea what video chip I have

The system is an HP Pavillion 6422

How did you apply the boot option?

Ran one of the generic options then when finished running typed in your solution

@Tim O'Callaghan
Your explanation of how you applied the boot option is unclear. Please tell us which technique you used, as described at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132. (For example, you might answer by saying you used "How to temporarily set kernel boot options on an installed OS (not wubi)").

If you did not use one of the techniques described there, then it seems likely that you are not doing it correctly. In that case, please read the instructions on that page. Please remember that you need to apply "nouveau.blacklist=1", not "nomodeset" (as is the example used in that forum thread).

Very strange it seems to have corrected itself and everything appears to be ok
