Manjaro installation shows only repeating blocks of coloured pixels

I recently decided to change from Windows and try the Manjaro Linux distribution.
I DBANed my HD, burnt the ISO to a disk and booted it from my disk drive. It loaded the expected setup screen and I started the installation. Everything was green and OK.
The screen went black for a moment, then displayed nothing but a repeating pattern of coloured squares of pixels, see image below:
This flashes to black a few times and after a while, a cursor appears which moves with the mouse. However, it never changes from this screen.
What may have gone wrong? How can I fix this? I am new to Linux and not hugely tech savvy so any advice is appreciated.
