Thanks for help.

The issue was resolved. As I told that I was installing OS and then the problem coming after reboot.

I selected all the graphic packages during linux installation. and it worked.

To get out of the black screen mode, try typing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. This keystroke combination should cause the X-server to exit if possible. If that does not work, you may need to hard reboot the system. After the system, has come up you should make certain that all your video hardware is compatible. Check the Hardware Compatibility List at:

Take care!
