Debian is running; it's just that the X11 Windowing system is
overdriving your monitor.

Try pressing Ctrl-Alt-Pluskey (on the number pad) a few times, waiting 2
or three seconds between each press; this will cycle through the various
available resolutions, which might give you a usable screen.

You can also press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to the first virtual terminal
(VT1), where you can log in via a text-based mode, where you'll have
access to tweak the X system.
