Welcome to Mint, shreeram13
I thought at first it had to do with the DVI-HDMI cable, but as you have tried VGA it's not the case
Obviously you get the bootsplash of the live CD, but cant go through with the install
I think the solution is here:

If you've heard a little sound after a (short) while that is definitely the solution

Please don't make multiple posts about the same problem at the same time

Remember if you want to run envy change to a terminal screen and do not run it in a terminal window on the desktop (it caused bad karma man).

Ctl-Alt-F1
sudo envy
...

login to gui again.

This helps "X problems" in installed systems as well

If your installed Mint can't boot "all the way", reboot into "Recovery Mode" and follow the procedure below.

The point here is installed systems. When you boot from the live CD just ignore this, because when the boot process stops you are (almost) at the same point as if you've booted into recovery mode from an installed system (executing chroot /root gets you to the same point)
