and for blank screen, maybe try kernel option `nomodeset`... and in next mail try to be more precise what you did and what happens... as you talk about "pop-ups", did you install xorg ? are you using a DE ? which gfx driver you installed for xorg ?...
The popups are those generated by the monitor when it doesn't get a valid signal. Having a Sony as well they sound familiar to me. Things seem to go wrong well before Xorg gets involved. The nomodeset option willl probably provide a working system in RL 3. Once that is working we can have a closer look.
