I just performed a clean installation on my Computer, and it stuck on the loading screen at first startup. However, the terminal still works. I have tried update the graphic drivers (nvidia gtx 760), but it did not work. What should I do?

I am assuming that you trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS base on the tag. I had a similar issue. Try executing the following.
Sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-lts-precise
I also have documented few more tips here.

@UbuntuNew: Also look at this post askubuntu.com/questions/162075/… (Author Luis Alvarado), there is some references to Nvidia graphic drivers. – Mahendra Gunawardena Jan 10, 2014 at 15:35

What I have tried is to update whatever the apt-get carries, perform a clean installation of the nvidia drive, all did not work. Well, it works in someway. When I checked the additional drivers, it appears the nvidia driver 319 was activated but not working that time. it seems to be a hardware issue..... I may try to instal a 13.10, and see what happens Jan 10, 2014 at 18:55
startx
andsudo lightdm restart
. If that doesn't work, usesudo apt-get install gdm
and say<Yes>
when it asks you to. (I am recommending installing gdm because when I ran Saucy, LightDM often failed on me and I've found gdm to be MUCH more stable)
