Hi all, @Lawrence: if the screen goes black at boot time it seems it could a video issue, does your computer have a hybrid GPU setup? You can do "$ lspci | grep -i vga" from your running system. Also, you might try booting the ISO in the so-called 'safe' mode to reach the GUI.
I'm running F21 and my system has weird Intel/ATI setup. To boot the image I had to do so in safe mode, install the system that way (I miss a text installer!) then add the proper flags to the kernel line in /etc/default/grub in order to have both CPU working as expected and enjoy my screen max resolution. As a side note, it would be good if you switch to the test ML as instructed to help keep things tidy. HTH.
