I would be nice that you tell us what piece of hardware did you change.

You want to use nvidia closed driver and get it to work on terminal consoles, right? As you already have found the culprit (nvidia driver) and given that this closed driver is completey up to nvidia, I would start by using the most up-to-date version (275.09.07) and search in Google about similar cases, like these, to find a possible workaround: http://askubuntu.com/questions/45929/virtual-terminals-messed-up-with-proprietary-nvidia-graphics-driver Giving a whirl to Xorg logs may also help.
