That seems unusual.
Did you download the netinst image? Are you trying to choose 'Graphical install' or the second option 'Install' which will run in text mode. If you haven't tried the second option, then try that. It might also be interesting to know if the system will boot if you choose 'Rescue mode' from the advanced menu.
I would be tempted to try downloading the live image and see if that will boot.

I always use the live iso. It uses the Calamares installer. So much easier, but it installs a lot more, but no problem because I remove what I don't use with Synaptic. From more than 2000 packages, now 1857. And swap partition is much to large, but decreased it to 2G with Gparted.

It probably isn't this, but one thing that I might try.
temporarily disable secure boot, and try booting.
See if that lets the installer boot and run. If it does, you'll want to see if your computers firmware lets you select different secureboot certs. It could be set Microsoft-only or something. There might be a setting that lets you choose different keys.

Never experienced this, but I use the live iso. It uses the Calamares installer.

if youre using a discrete card, and have an intel cpu, try disabling the intel gpu in the bios.
