After the "black screen", try pressing CTRL-ALT-F1.  If you see a
(text) login prompt, you are probably having issues with your video
card (or monitor).

What video card are you using?

Some things to try:
Go back to the graphical VT by pressing CTRL-ALT-F7 - the screen
should go black again.  Try pressing CTRL-ALT-MINUS or CTRL ALT-PLUS
several times - you might get lucky and a higher/lower res will show
up.  If not, go back to VT1 (CTRL-ALT-F1) and login.  Edit
/etc/X11/xorg.conf in vi, pico, or whatever - in the "Device" section
change the driver to vesa.  Save xorg.conf. Press CTRL-ALT-F7 again,
then CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE (or reboot).  If the graphical login appears,
then it's definitely the video driver. If not...?
