Okay, I tried Paul and Si's ideas...

boot...
remove "rhgb quiet" add "3"
setup tool arrives - wait a bit and it goes again and I get a login prompt
login as root

$ X -configure
nothing serious, says it can't find my mouse, lot's of stuff above screen I 
can't read.

$ startx

... and I'm back at where I started, the screen goes dead and I can see that 
'crystals going to sleep' thing swish across the screen. The system is not 
powered down thou. Just no screen - maybe waiting with a login splash screen?

700Hz - celeron
what's the speed you wanted, I'm not much of a hardware wizz, 4200rpm? Here's 
some specs...

# Formatted Capacity: 10GB
# Interface: 44-pin ATA4
# Data Transfer Rates: 66.7MB/s (UDMA)
# Average Seek Times: 13ms
# Buffer Size: 1MB
# Rotational Speed: 4200rpm

Still stumped - Duncan
