I recently replaced my REALLY old windows OS with Ubuntu, and it looks like it works at first glance. When I attempt to log in, however, it accepts my username and password, then goes into what I believe is the Ubuntu equivilant of a blue screen.

How can I solve this?

It looks like you are overdriving your monitor. In other words, the video card is using a refresh frequency that is higher than what your monitor can support. Try switching to a text-mode console using CtrlAltF1.

If that works, you may be able to manually reconfigure Xorg.conf to reduce the display resolution.
