Thread: Ubuntu 11.10 Changed video card now can't access grub


g'day.

had reason change video card on pc (broken fan) gigabyte gv-nx 86t512h (nvidia chipset believe). running dual boot bootmanager windows on 1 disk (primary) , ubuntu 11.10 on other.

(i way son can still access untouched windows os games)

worked when rebooted, , changed nothing. meanwhile tried smart alec , enable dual monitor display card supports this. after bit of research (and trying 'detect monitor' in system settings> display options) disabled driver in "additional drivers" - had none selected. again worked fine, , continued working forgetting dual display idea moment.

shutdown/rebooted after awhile, , selected ubuntu on boot manager, normal. after short while of usual disk churning noticed did not ubuntu splash screen, , finished flickering horizontal lines on top 50% of screen , plain purple below lower 50% pof screen.

can't access grub recovery mode (tried esc; cntrl-alt-f1; , shift key) , computer freezes.

help!

in anticipation.
