Bug Description
I tried to use Ubuntu 12.04 from a pen drive, but even though I can see the Ubuntu splash, as soon as Unity should be shown the screen gets video garbage and I cannot use the desktop. I can switch to TTY1, so the system is not crashed.

you should try to use the nvidia-binary driver, it seems the free driver does not work correctly for your card.
