OK, have you installed this to the machine? I would attempt a reinstall and when the blue screen appears with the keyboard = Accessibility sign, press the spacebar and then select your language (F2) then Keyboard Locale (languageg) F3, then F6 and choose 'nomodeset'.

If you want to try and resolve this with the installed OS, press 'E' for edit boot command and add at the end:

Code:
acpi=off nomodeset xforcevesa


Keep us posted! ;)
