Solaris 11.1 64bit Install freezing after GRUB selection

Question

All,
I am in the process of creating a DEV box for hosting my projects and I am wanting to install Solaris 11.1 onto a Lenovo Desktop PC .
PC Details:
Lenovo M92p Thinkcentre 3227
Intel Core i5 3rd Gen
4Gb Ram
500gb HDD
Technical Specs

Currently the system has a OEM version of Windows 7 installed on it.
So I downloaded the latest Live image of Solaris from Oracle and burned it using Windows burn utility.
I then boot the DVD using UEFI mode and the GRUB menu displays all the various options to start the Solaris install process.
No matter which option I choose the install hangs on the black screen saying the OS version and the Copyright notice.
The text cursor is not blinking (has it crashed?)
I found this screenshot which shows what I get (note screenshot is from VM)

Things I have done:
Flashed the BIOS to latest version
Tried booting solaris from a live usb
Reburned the solaris iso image
Waited an hour to see if it progresses
Things I am going to do:
Use a different ISO utility
Test if Linux can boot from PC
Any ideas?

Thanks for your response,
I should have updated this thread.
Unfortunately Lenovo put a "bug" in their UEFI control that allows only "Windows" and "Red Hat Linux" to boot.
Any other OS with a string in the UEFI identifier that does not match this will not boot.
When I say it is a bug, Lenovo have in the past got a reputation for using Safe boot to limit non Windows OS's from starting on a machine.
Check out the article I read here:
