Screen got black out on root prompt after booting arch iso

Dear all,
I'm trying to install arch linux on my machine. I have create a live usb using imagewriter.
I boot from that live usb. When it reach the root prompt then the screen get blackout after a few second.
I'm using arch iso version 2015.02.01 and using ATI Radeon 4850 on my machine.
I've tried to boot with adding nomodeset to kernel params but the result is still the same.
Can someone help me out? Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the the reply. I've created a new live usb using dd.
Actualy, the problem still appear. But, when the root prompt showed up and the screen got black out, i try to run dmesg and suddenly the screen blackout gone.
I just wondering what's the actual problem. Is this a bug or something else?
Btw, should I mark this thread as solved or not?

My Ipod just stopped working, the screen got black and now I can't open it. I have tried to charge it but it doens't work.

My Ipod touch 5 just stopped working. The screen got black and now I can't use it or start it.
I have tried to charge it but it doens't start and when I tried to connect it with my computer it didn't work either.
I saw that you could hold down the "home" button and the "power" button at the same time but my home button doens't work so I can't do that.
Is there any other way I can fix it or do I have to go to an apple store?

Try:
Turn on without Home/Power Button

Anyone else having this issue? Worked great in snow leopard. Updated to 10.7.1

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

Try restarting the iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

My touchscreen blacks out while on a call so I can't multitask. If I am on a call and a new call comes in, I can't see who is calling or even think of answering because the screen is blacked out.

Thank you so very much! My husband is in Afghanistan and calls at different times. If I am on a call and can't answer him it could be days before I hear from him again. I never thought to just restart my phone! Duh...this is my first smartphone so I am learning. All day people were calling while I was on the phone but I couldn't answer. Thank GOD none of the calls were my husband because it would break my heart if I missed his call. Thank you again and GOD bless you! Ashley Combahee

My screen is blacked out, it will pop back in for a few then fade back out

my screen is blacked out, it will pop back in for a few then fade back out; does this happen to anyone else?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

Screen is blacked out but calls and such still coming through...

My screen is blacked out but I still hear texts, calls, alarms, etc coming through. When I plug it in to my computer for a reset it doesn't identify the phone and there are no "portable devices" settings under "manage devices". HELP please

If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod (you did not say the type of restore your performed) and are still having the problem that indicates a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order..

The screen goes black 2 or 3 secs after lifting the lid, but comes back on if I disconnect the magnetic power lead, after that it works fine with or without lead. Anyone had this problem, and is it symptomatic of a serious fault

It could be a software issue. I would reinstall the OS. You don't have to lose or reinstall any apps from archive and install. This way, your user folder remains intact but you get a fresh copy of the OS.

Imac G5 will not boot up. there is power but the screen is black. About 30 sec after turning it on, the fan comes on loudly.

I have an old imac G5 (non Intel) The screen went blank but the fan turns very loudly. I cannot reboot the computer. whenever I start it I get power and black screen and the fan comes on loudly after about 30 secs. I have tried rebooting pressing varius keys, but no luck. I once got the flashing question mark, but I can't get that either. I'd like to reboot from the disc, but I cannot insert a disc. Any help out there??

If zapping the PRAM does not get it working, it's time for a new iMac. Repairs will not be worth the cost. Put it towards a new iMac.
I've been there, done that. Had my burial last summer.

20" imac dual 1.83 the right 1/" of the screen is blacked out

I have a 20" imac.
The right 1/4 of the swcreen is black. It measures about 2 inches all the way down the screen virtically. A;so about an inch to the left of that ther is a vertical line all the way down. The other portion of the screen looks fine.
I can drag icons from the black portion of the screen to the good portion.
Any ideas?

Sometimes After straightening and cropping 1/2 or 3/4 of the displayed image (from a Nikon RAW image) is blacked out! I am using version 2.1 of aperture. Apparently the file is fine and is straightened and cropped (I can see the full picture cropped and straightened in the browser), but the display isn't working when I double-click to open that picture. Frustrating. Any ideas/fixes? I have 2GB of RAM so memory shouldn't be a problem.

I know that you know this but straitening and cropping are supposed to black out the parts of your image that are cut off by the very nature of those operations. Assuming you are not really asking "hey why do the straiten and crop tools work like they are supposed to", some screen shots of what you are talking about would help get your question answered properly.
