    First of all, fix Graphics temporarily.
    Execute this
    Code:
    sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Set Driver "vesa" instead of "nv" in Section Device 'Video Card'. Save file and reboot machine. If your machine has internet access then its pretty easy to install nVidia Driver,
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Okk ! Try replacing "vesa" with "nv".
