Hardware specs might be nice. The one I'm concerned about is what scan rates does your monitor support, and I'll suggest that you try forcing the display scan rates to parameters that you are sure are within spec. But when that doesn't work we'll need to know the rest of the hardware specs, so you might as well give them now.

Also, did you confirm the md5 checksum of the iso before burning? (It's not hard to imagine a bad ISO might cause the screen to go black while booting).
