installation of Zorin power down

Hi to the community.
After installing Zorin after power down or re boot during this process the monitor goes off, but the screen goes from the desk top to shut down and i get white and black odd looking lines and what looks like weird characters, yet there not characters it looks like a disrupted screen, it boots up ok and does shut down, can anyone suggest what this odd behavior is, or is it normal, i really don't know, very much a newbie to any Linux. Thanks for any ideas or help.

Dave.

Did you install the graphic card drivers in the hardware section of the control center (Additional Drivers)??.
