Hello,

Try this:

-xforcevesa noapic noapci nosplash irqpoll --

I had the same problem once before and this worked for me

Good Luck, Craig

This may seem a little dumb, but I have a 3rd gen i3 with an intel 4000 gfx card...
Turns out for some reason the screen brighness was totally off by default... "fn" and "up" sorted it
