No screen in attempted install

[Anne Wilson]

I've never met this problem before, and am at a loss as to how to tackle it.  
This is on a new laptop, suitably partitioned, ready for an install.

Attempt 1 - Fedora 12 DVD.  Spins up, text messages whizz past, screen goes 
blank, disk stops spinning - and nothing happens.

Attempt 2 - Fedora KDE Live CD - Spins up, text messages whizz past, screen 
goes blank, the disk continues to spin.  Eventually the startup sound is heard 
- but there is still nothing on screen.

Any suggestions?
