Any reason not to install Core 5 since it is out.  I'd highly
recommend installing it now :).

Try doing a text install.  It is likely that the X windows for the
installer doesn't like your graphics card.  A text install, while not
as nice, may work better with it.

Is that, "Windows shows I have 15 GB free" or "I have 15 GB worth of
unpartitioned space"?  If it is the first, the install will not work
(different issue from the blank screen).  If the second, you are fine.
 Just want to make sure from the way you stated your amount of "free
space."
