No offense, but try to think: by saying your monitor brand, does it
has anything to do with the sympton you see?

So, what exactly did you see? splash screen?

Not really...

Quite likely no tty is spawned in console number 2...

press enter when Linux starts, it should open the GRUB OS selection.
Highlight your current OS, press e. Edit the kernel invocation command
and deleted anything that written like "splash", "quite" etc.

Then press Ctrl+X...it should boot your kernel with the new
parameters. Hopefully, by doing so, it is showing the progress more
verbose (lots of text showing). Then kindly paste few last lines of
the boot message before it got hung.
