Problem with installation media

Trying to revive an old laptop, on wich i've had Arch on before, but I'm having alittle bit of problem with the installation.

I'm using an USB for the installation. It seems to work properly since it's booting and everything seems to be working fine until the automatic login in as root. Then the screen goes all grey and nothing happens.

My guess is this happens when the resolution changes. Could it be a broken graphics card? Or is the installation trying to set a resulution way to high? Maybe there is a way to force the installation to a lower resolution?


I know I'm paranoid, but am I paranoid enought....
