I reinstalled Ubuntu 16.04, then installed nvidia-current and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
rebooted and gets stuck in a login loop. My graphic card is GeForce 6150SE nForce 430. Can some help me solve the issue?

Nvidia nForce 430 (GeForce 6150SE graphics) is legacy hardware for which Nvidia no longer has a recommended Linux driver version. On top of that it was just entry level hardware at the time of its release, meant to office tasks and not much else.
Keeping the default open-source nouveau driver is recommended but not enough, a light Desktop Environment (e.g. LXDE in Lubuntu) is also required because the hardware is incompatible with any modern 3D DE like Unity, KDE or Gnome.
For better performance a cheap discrete graphics card can be added.
