Every time I try to start up the pc I get a blank purple screen first.
Then I have to press the power button to shut the pc off manually. When
i start it up again it boots to grub menu. When I select kernel it goes
to black screen with blinking cursor on top left. I then manually shut
down and repeat until I get the Ubuntu welcome screen where I can log
in.
