Bug Description

I have just install Ubuntu 20.04 in a pc with Windows 10. I have used an usb stick. Before the welcome window emerged the screen went black with white letters completely frozen. Then I pressed the power button (one or two quick presses) ans suddenly the welcome window emerged. All the installation seemed to be fine. But when I restarted and I have chosen "Ubuntu" in the first menu that has appeared when I started the computer (I could choose between "Ubuntu", "Advanced Ubuntu", "Windows" and "UFI Firmware") and then the screen went mostly black with purple and green lines. Then I pressed the power button to quit (two quick presses) and suddenly I could have access to my account and then everything was normal. I have tried many times and always it's the same. I also have found another way to skip the black-green-purple screen going to "Advanced Ubuntu", then "Ubuntu recovery" and then "normal boot". If I do it this way everything seems fine and I skip the frozen blac-green-purple screen. What should I do to fix it?

So sorry if is confusing, I'm new in all of that and my English isn't good. Thanks very much.
