I've just installed Kali Linux 2016. Right after installation competes and grub loads, the screen blacks out. I access Kali by sleeping my laptop and waking it up (pressing power key to sleep and pressing space bar to wake it up). Ctrl+F1 is of no help (, also the other solution of changing display settings in BIOS setup is unavailable)
I have a HP Pavilion, with Intel i7, 16GB RAM, nVidia GT940.
