Perhaps you might try the safe graphics mode settings (selectable at
the boot prompt) in case it has some weird issue with your graphics
card?
Doesn't make much sense for the GUI installer to bug out like that. If

set the root password, then SSH to the machine and see what happens
when things "go dark"
