I have a similar problem using an Acer Aspire S3.
Sometimes I get a black screen, however I always hear the "drums" sound.
I am not sure if this problem only happens when there is no network connection, will test it tomorrow.

I found the iso image itself is fine, but the Ubuntu CD/USB writing app cause this issue.
When I write CD/USB by Windows app, it boots.
