Live CD boots to a black screen that eventually reboots automatically
Never experienced anything like this before. The 02.01.2014 Live CD boots to a black screen that eventually reboots automatically (after 8-10 min). The hardware is an HP 2000-2C62NR laptop. I see the UEFI boot screen the CD displays, but that's it. I can select the first option to boot into x86_64 Arch live environment, but I get no feedback on the screen (just blank) and I do not see the network come up. After 8-10 min of just sitting there, it seems to reboot itself.
Just for kicks, I booted to a live Ubuntu 13.10 CD. Again, I get the boot menu, and selected "try ubuntu" from the prompt. Again, I get nothing but a black screen. The ubuntu CD did get further though; my router assigned the laptop an IP address. Any thoughts?
