You could try disabling kernel modesetting:
While booting, enter the grub menu (hold the Shift key. If it fails
and the boot continues, restart and try pressing Shift several times
instead of simply holding it down).
Once in the grub menu, press 'e' to edit the boot line, then add to
the kernel line: nouveau.modeset=0. You may also remove "quiet splash"
to see what's going on in the boot process.
Press Ctrl+X.

Best regards,
