Blank screen in linux

I just installed Mandrake7.2 and everything went fine on the install process. However, when rebooting after the install finished, I have a blank screen. Everything initializes ok (mounting filesystems, starting service), but before I see a login prompt or the desktop, the monitor shuts off and so do the keyboard lights. There is still some hard drive activity for about 20-30 seconds after the monitor shuts off. My hardware setup is this:
Gigabyte GA6VX7-4A mobo w/ Celeron 433
Matrox G200 8MB Video Card

(I don't think any other h/w would matter)

Also, mandrake auto detected 64MB of ram, so i entered 128 when it asked if that is right since I really do have 128.

Any ideas?

 
Sound like X isn't configured right. Try CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to kill the X server. You can also switch to another virtual console with ALT-F2, ALT-F3, etc.
