My guess would be that something is different in this install than your previous.
Can you play DVD on your system? Could be there is something different with your display settings.
Edit: Do you hibernate or put your system in standby?
I saw in another thread there were some having some trouble wich was similar to yours. Similar but not the same.

If you hibernate or put your system in standby, you could try a reboot and see if it fixes your problem.
