While starting the system, it asks for password and getting the password it takes me to a blank screen. Then I press the power button to turn it off and restart it. Sometimes it works, else it continues with the above problem.

I had this problem as well, on an older version of ubuntu though, but let me ask this; did you try a different monitor?

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Is the password in question for your user account or to decrypt the drive with the Ubuntu installation? What's the last thing you see on the screen before the password entry dialogue?

I have the same issue on a fresh install of 18.04. I can only log in when I switch to "Ubuntu on Wayland" via the cog icon on the bottom right of the password field. When I try to log into the standard Gnome environment I get the blank screen with only a cursor.

@DavidFoerster, The password for the user account. Everything is normal and usual. The screen has the UBUNTU logo and from there it takes me to the password dialog box.
