Could it be the TV ?
Have you tried connecting it to a monitor with a HDMI->DVI cable and see if the Live version displays correctly ?
Have you tried installing XBMC Live onto the HD or a USB flash drive ?

Its not the tv, as the pc has windows on it, and is working fine..I rebooted to the live cd, chose nvidia gpu, got the splashscreen, then nothing!!
I wanted to test xbmc live, before isntalling it to hd and killing windows, glad I did!!!

Try pressing a keyboard button whan blackscreen appears and you will get the failure message.
Search for my threads I reported it 1 week ago.

Could it be the CD-R's your using are a bad batch or a fault within the PC that is burning the image and corrupting the data somehow ?
Try downloading XBMC Live again from another PC and if you have access to another CD writer use it to burn the image with a different brand of CD-R (verbatim brand is usually a safe bet).
