You should post some hardware information (motherboard, graphics
adapter)

You may check the files /var/log/XFree86, /var/log/boot.log,
/var/log/dmesg and /var/log messages if you find any messages regarding
your graphics adapter. (If you are in terminal mode you may use the
program less [e.g. less  /var/log/boot.log] to scroll through the
files).

As root you may also perform

   lspci

and check the output to find your graphics adapter
