Have you checked this site:

The quirks seem mostly related to video. Try booting in runlevel 3. At
the boot prompt you'd add:
vga=none 3
Do this at the end of whatever kernel is your default. It's probably
GRUB running, so at the GRUB screen select the kernel line, 'e' to edit,
add the above, press Enter, then 'b' to boot it.
If this works try looking at video settings.
If you still have a problem, drop into the BIOS and start turning off
stuff such as sound, USB, etc.. THen turn them back on one-by-one to see
if you can boot.
