Default No Display after Ubuntu install


My Hardware -
Intel Core i5-750
Gigabyte GA-P55m-UD2
Zotac GeForce 9600GT
BenQ G2420HD

I am using Windows 7 64 bit(Home Premium). I wanted to dual-boot with Ubuntu(latest-version of the 64bit variant).I booted from the USB-stick. I created 2 separate partitions for Ubuntu - One with the ext4 file system for the / and another 12GB swap partition -from an app called G-parted inside the Live booted Ubuntu. I then installed Ubuntu.
Didn't allow Ubuntu to download updates for codecs and all as I feel more can go wrong while installing the OS than installing the codecs after the OS install.
Ubuntu install finished successfully.
But after the restart, in the boot menu I selected the first option Ubuntu generic...(it was auto-selected though, I just pressed Enter), then some dots appeared on the screen, then the monitor went into the power-saving mode. Windows is still running fine though.
I doubt some driver issues. But why could I boot into the Live CD mode, if there is no driver available? Is there anyway I can run Ubuntu? Should I download and try out the 32 bit version of Ubuntu?

Hey guys, the problem got resolved when I connected the DVI cable to the other DVI ports present in the card.
I had tried re-installing also(tried both 32-bit and the 64-bit version)
Any idea what is happening? Some problem with the port of the graphic card?

Yes, I was using WIndows 7 connected to that only for the last one year. And as already mentioned in the opening post, live CD of Ubuntu had booted.

You are correct.
Another thing I have noted is that when I boot using the 'working' port, I get proper(higher resolution) in the GRUB screen. And when I use the other port I get the low resolution(perhaps 640 X 480) in the GRUB screen.
