Black screen after verbose startup

[Mike Hracs]

After the verbose startup, my screen goes black, no lock up, just black, and
when I procced to turn off my laptop(its a dell inspiron 7500) the login screen
shows up, but of course my computer is shutting down, and there is nothing I can do.

This happens everytime, when I insert the live CD, it can start up and im in
right now, if I load off the partition, but I only get my ram drive, and not the HD.

Not quite sure whats going on, I dont think its the Video drivers because
wouldnt the live cd not work as well?

did you get any message while booting? Did you tried to boot in "savemode"

Please try the new live CD and see if it helps:
