meowski,
Your install is OK - you are getting caught when the video driver is loading.
Please read and follow the 'blank screen problems' thread below.
You will be changing the 'nomodeset' boot parameter.

You might need to to enter other boot parameters There are 6 of them. You may have to do them one-by-one until you get video.
