With regard to the "blank screen"...I'm assuming that is happening after
the graphical boot sequence...the one that shows all the various service
starting, etc.

I'm running into the same issue, using an Nvidia card.

It's not an indication that the system is frozen...it's that the system
switched to TTY7, which is where the graphical environment is supposed to
start.

Instead, all I do is press ALT-F1 to get to the first console terminal,
log in, run "sudo init 3" to bring the system to runlevel 3 (text only
mode), then "sudo init 5 ; exit" to bring the system back to runlevel 5
(graphical mode) and then exit that particular shell.

The system then comes up with the login for the GUI desktop.

I do wonder if it has to do with the desktop environment selected.  I run
KDE (don't have Gnome installed)...which desktop environment are you
using?
