990FX chipset with Ubuntu?

[Shawn]

I have a Gigabyte 990FX-UD3 mobo and an AMD FX-8350 and I am trying to get Ubuntu 13.04 to run properly. It basically just freezes up and lags then shuts down. If I take my matrix 580 out and use my GT 520 it runs fine but the matrix 580 works on a different machine in Ubuntu 13.04 perfectly fine. I've tried Ubuntu 12.10 as well but no luck either! Burned new discs and all the obvious crap that you would expect. I am not very familiar with Linux so I suck with the terminal but i want my dual boot to work. And yes I've tried installing it by itself.  :P  I just have a feeling its the chipset as a I can't find any legit Ubuntu drivers for it.

 

If anybody knows anything about the chipset drivers can they reply immediately, please?

 

PS.. I didn't put this in Troubleshooting because I basically know what the problem is but don't know where to find the solution.

Im a Linux user, and I have a similar chipset, the 990x, but with an AMD vga also. Try using the propietarie drivers form NVidia. Check their web for the links, that should do the trick. If not, disable the propietary drivers and see how things works.

It's like impossible to boot especially because none of my USB port work in Ubuntu so all I've got is my PS/2 keyboard. Anyway to disable the X server before booting so it hopefully doesn't crash?
