Screen is black after Windows 8 Install?

I have a Dell One 24. I have been trying to install Windows 8 on it for 3 days now and the farthest it gets to is the splash screen with the blue MS logo. After that the screen turns black. I can hear it working and can use cmd functions to get it to do things. I dont have any cables to hook it up to another monitor either. I have searched the Internet and it seems like this is a big problem with a lot of people. Does anyone have a fix? I cant get into safe mode either btw. Thanks!

    I am not surprised. Everyone is having trouble with it. And I was in a computer store with someone 2 days ago, out of a row of about 20 windows 8 machines, 6 were standing with BSOD screens, another 2 were at the black screen. And the staff could not get them going properly.
