Hi
I had a similar issue and resolvedit by booting it without the monitor plugged in. As MarkHays has pointed out there is an HDMI issue, which resolves itself once Linux has been installed.
Depending on the distro you use, I found that you should leave it unplugged for approx 20 mins.
Ensure that the Pine is switched off, unplug the video, insert the microsd and plug in the power. After 20 mins, plug the video back in and you should see a login screen.
Alternatively, check the PSU - it should be 5v @ 2A. Anything less than 2A (i.e. 2000 mA) and the likelihood of it not booting is quite high.
