Purple Screen, first time using Ubuntu

Question

My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?

It's my first time using Ubuntu and after my first reboot I loaded Ubuntu and a purple screen appeared. I've read it may have something to do with the graphics drivers. I have a Nvidia GTX 560 and I do not know how to install the drivers from this purple screen, I can access recovery mode and I downloaded Ubuntu using the windows installer.
