Snowy white screen after Ubuntu 18.04 installation

I installed Ubuntu 18.04 yesterday. Before this, I had dual boot with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04.

I wiped out both previous OS's and did a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04. When I was in the middle of installing Anaconda on my laptop, I went to bed and returned in the morning (see attached images). My laptop didn't respond. I tried powering it off and on and the same screen appeared. You can faintly see the login screen on the background. Keyboard is responsive, mouse doesn't have any effect. I have tried rebooting with live USB but no response either.

Sorry I tried attaching the image but was not allowed to. Maybr that's because I'm posting this with my phone.

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Can you boot any live medium? Can you access BIOS? If not, I bet on faulty hardware, I am sorry…

@BLaqBobby Without an image to see what exactly you're seeing, it's impossible to answer this - you may wish to upload your image to imgur.com or similar directly, and then provide a link to the image in comments here so we can add it to your post.

@BlaqBobby The screenshot looks like the login screen, right? Do the BIOS screen(s) and Ubuntu bootsplash look normally? If not, it’s definitely a hardware problem.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this is highly likely to be a hardware problem. If not it's certainly unclear.
