There is more info about your computer needed.
Start the live system in compatibility mode, hopefully the things get visible with that.
In the live system open a terminal and enter:
Note the correct writing in capital and not-capital letters.
The command gives some output. Copy it and paste it in the next post. You can this with the live system.

It ran a lot of code or tests then went onto blank screen
"Cannot display thisvideo mode"
It happens so fast I dont get a chance to enter that code. Remember I cant see terminal or anything on the desktop

What can you tell bout the hardware?
My guess: your hardware is probably not able to work with Cinnamon. Try the MATE oder the XFCE edition of LM 17.1 instead.

I suspect hardware too. Had initially installed Mint 13 but it didnt seem to connect with the wifI adapter I have. Do yiu know how to make a wifi adapter work jn 13. Mint 13 is something I know as I had itnfor 3- 4 years till my PSU broke hence me getting a new tower and trying get another copy of Linux
