Upon reboot I see it booting and going through strings of commands. There is a picture of Tux the penguin at the top. Then the screen just goes blank. Any help?

Probably means X doesn't like your graphics card with the current
configuration.

Try booting recovery mode then disable starting gdm/xdm/kdm (whichever
is in use) and then reboot normally and see if it works in console mode.
