Can you tell us what software you downloaded? If that software is 
related to your problem, it might be good to know. OTOH, if you also did 
an update it may be a problem unrelated to the software you installed.

Did you try the "xfix" option in recovery mode? That is the last entry 
in the list, IIRC. You may have a problem with your graphics card and 
the xfix option usually helps to get the xserver running again. You 
wrote that you get a blank screen - is there a cursor in the upper left 
corner or is the screen entirely blank?
