    • Boot menu will appear, default entry will be "Start Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon 64-bit"
    • Press [e] to enter edit mode
    • Add "nomodeset" after the "splash", the end of line will look like "quiet splash nomodeset --"
    • Press [F10] to continue the boot
  • You will need to add "nomodeset" option once again, after base installation of Linux Mint and reboot
  • The problem will disappear after installing Nvidia graphics card drivers
