Hello, I wanted to install Linux Mint Cinnamon on my laptop
After disabling secure boot and setting my USB key as boot 1
I installed Linux Mint, I decided to install the drivers for my graphics card by following this tutorial

https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-on-linux-mint

So in the tutorial, at one point there is a command to run << sudo telinit 3 >>
but then my PC crashed

So when I restarted it, I saw the Linux Mint logo and then after 5 seconds the screen went off
I waited 5 minutes and it was still the same, the screen was off
So I pressed the power button on my computer and then I saw the Mint logo loading
and then the PC turned off as if I had pressed power

I looked online and I couldn't find anyone who had a similar problem
I also want to mention that the grub does not display
I have to press escape at startup for it to show up

I also modified a line in the grub so I could see the command lines with the [OK] in green at startup
So when I turn on the PC, the Mint logo appears, the command line shows up, then the screen goes off but the PC is still on, so I press power and the command line displays and the PC turns off

I have tried reinstalling Linux Mint several times but I still have the same problems, thank you in advance

Hello,
Your driver is not installed there.
Try passing the parameter
nomodeset
to the kernel at boot (on the grub screen)
follow the instructions in section 7.3.1
https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/kernel#modifier_les_parametres_du_noyau_pour_un_systeme_installe_sur_disque

The change is temporary; to make it permanent: section 7.3.2
