It sounds like you may have a problem with the video drivers for X. What happens if you boot and do a Ctrl+Alt+1 to switch to tty 1 (a terminal window)? – jwernerny Jul 20 '11 at 15:20

Linux mint is an Ubuntu based distribution, you can have a look at these instructions here

A wild guess would be before you try to install the operating system to enable some extra modules for your graphics card.
