You have to tell us more facts.
The minimum is exactly which Mint you have - which version and which edition (main or any of the CEs)
We also need to know a bit about all your hardware.
Run " lspci " in a terminal and post here (To copy from a terminal right click)
Some wifi and possibly built in sound can be connected to USB even if they are internal - if you suspect you have one of these run " lsusb " in a terminal.
Also tell us if this is using mint4win or not, quite important

Re: Linux Mint won't start up
Can you boot into low graphics mode?
You have a very old and low performance (by today standards) graphics card.....
It is however supported by the xserver-xorg-video-savage package
It is possible to see if it's installed in Synaptic
In /etc/X11/xorg.conf you should have a line in Section "Device"
Driver "savage"
You can see and change this from the live CD if necessary
