video turns off just when os starts services when booting F8 after fresh install

I've recently upgraded my F6 to F8. The install finished ok but when the
computer boots it gets to the boot loader, finishes and starts booting up
the kernel and then when it gets to the point where it show the type I for
Interactive boot and just after it starts the udev service, the screen goes
blank and never returns. There was no indication during the setup that there
was a problem with the video card (I installed using the graphical installer
by the way).

I'm a bit stumped because I can't really even look at any logs files or
anything because the screen goes blank before it finishes booting up to
Gnome. I tried maybe secure shelling in but that doesn't work either because
maybe ssh service might not be turned on by default or something, not sure.
I don't even know if the system finishes starting other services or finishes
other booting-up procedures because the screen just goes pitch black just
when the os starts turning on services. I'm attempting to reinstall i rescue
mode now but don't know if this will help resolve the issue. Thanks in
advance for any ideas.
