I found this in the ubuntu forum.   Sounds like the 6200 is a pretty old 
card.  Do you have an onboard graphics you could try?   I loaded 15.04 
on my Toshiba laptop and have had no problems.

        NVIDIA GEForce 6200 LE

        I have a MSI motherboard with unichrome graphics chip. I am
        running Ubuntu 12.04. If recently installed a NVIDIA GEForce
        6200 LE graphics card. I have installed drivers from geforce
        website, undated headers and updated grub. When I boot with
        monitor connected to NVIDIA card I get the "black screen." All I
        can do is shut the computer down and startup with the monitor
        connected the the unichrome graphics which now only has 640x480
        since the upgrade. I'm not really sure what step to take next.
        Any suggestions would certainly be welcome. Thanks, Jim

        As far as I'm aware of, the oldest Nvidia video card Ubuntu
        12.04 supports is the 8400. Need to upgrade. Also check to see
        if your bios is set to use the card and not onboard.
