Problem with installation of ubuntu after after changing my video card with an amd hd 6570

after changing my video card to amd hd 6570 it's not possible to install Ubuntu anymore

On windows (8), everything is just fine. my new video card works perfectly and I have no problem with anything about it.

then when I try to boot from ubuntu (or any other Linux) to install it with wubi or with usb everything goes like this:

1) Grub screen...no problem at all, colors are just fine everything looks okay

2) and then Ubuntu's boot screen...weird background color, over the backround there are vertical stripes of red-orange dots.

3) desktop is about to start but * vertical stripes of red colored dots are all over the unity screen*. then when I click on ubuntu's menu, it usually switches to black screen saying something about "panic occured"...and then it restarts or it gives no respond at all.

problems started after I started using amd hd 6570 video card on my asus m5a78lm-lx mainboard which has amd phenom II X4 processor on it.

again, I'm writing on Windows 8 right now and everything works and looks perfect. so far I've only updated bios.

on virtual box Ubuntu works fine.

there was no fglrx to uninstall.

well I downloaded it, unzipped inside the usb with winrar and changed the complicated long..long file name to simply "run" so I wouldn't make mistake writing its name.

tried to mount it your way from ubuntu, didn't work, so I searched google and in there it told me to create a folder in media and mount it there with some parameters. I did, and I ran the bash command but it failed at some point while "unpacking" something.

i'm installing fglrx thing....AND DONE :P everything is alright no problem at all :D wth

thank you, bob
