Percision T4500 Workstation.
The installation run just fine. The installation DVD had been tested before
installation. After installation, the installer ask me to reboot. after
reboot, when the msg for LVM saying detection of my LVMs, 1 or 2 lines after
that my monitor turned off, but i believed the cpu is still running. I tried
reboot several times but still got same problem. Can some one help me?

Not much to go on.

Since you say "Workstation" one might presume that you are running in 
GUI mode.  Have you tried booting to runlevel 1 or 3?  Turning off 
"quiet" mode?  Might see some useful hints.

In GRUB type "a" to append/edit the kernel boot line.  Delete
"rhgb
quiet" and replace it with "1" or "single" for
single-user mode, or "3"
for full network boot without GUI.  See if anything enlightening shows up.
