I recently swapped from Windows7 to Ubuntu 11.10 due to problems with my Windows.

Ubuntu worked great for a few days with no problem, This morning I ran out of battery and the laptop shut down. I rebooted it and now it just displays an error message ( black screen with coding commands) it doesn't even go onto the purple screen anymore.

Any help on this would be much appreciated..

Ps: would installing Ubuntu again make any difference?
