It may be the Nvidia Graphics card so try using nomodeset. When you see the Mint menu options hit the e key on the keyboard, then with the new sreen use the down arrow key on the keyboard to go down to the line beginning with linux, the right arrow key to go to the end of the line, leave one space and type in nomodeset, all lower case letters. The bottom of the screen should tell you which key to hit to boot, F10 I believe. Post back if that doesn't work.
