new video card

Ok i set up my linux bvos with a new ati card from my old geforce card. When i went to reset the pc it gave me a fatal error. How do i get it to not go into the gui so i can change the card from geforce to ATI?

either boot into single user mode or runlevel 3, then configure accordingly to get that card working...

When does it say "fatal error"?
You could try using a rescue CD, mounting your drive and change your X Config file manually
