White/gray screen after installing Ubuntu

Asked by Rói Holgarsson

I get this white/gray screen when trying to install Ubuntu or any other linux os. I'm using a dell laptop (XPS M1730). Graphic card is GeForce 8800M GTX with newest driver. Does anyone else experience this problem? and is it possible to fix it?
