- version o0f ubuntu (or variant) running?
- 32bit or 64bit os?
- nvidia drver trying use card.
- did use nvidia-installer package "uninstall" before started deleting thought driver files?

can post /var/log/nvidia-installer.log file , /var/xorg.5.log file. when do, please use "#" button in posting tool bar , paste text within code tags.
