Are you saying that the system boots into Ubuntu but hangs after that? 
Or are you saying that once you put the new card in the system won't 
display anything? If the latter, it may be a bios issue, with the 
sequence of the displays if your new card is a PCI-Express card.  That 
is what happened to me when I got a new G-Force PCI-Express card 
(nothing wrong with the one on the motherboard but it's nice to offload 
all the video work to its own 256mb).
