If you're saying that it locks up at the conclusion of the boot
process, and just before you'd normally get the gdm login screen, then
try adding 'nomodeset' boot parameter.
Otherwise, if it locks up before the boot normally finishes, press the
escape key as soon as you get the progress indication, and see what
happens.
How to add 'nomodeset' boot parameter ?
