    Why? Because you're still booting from the USB. You need to remove the USB and/or change the boot order in BIOS/UEFI back to the the drive where you installed. –  Feb 10 '17 at 20:29
  • Some 30 minutes ago you posted a question that implies you had a working OS. Did you just reinstalled and the previous installation wasn't done by you? It sound like you're doing it for the first time and yet your previous questions suggest otherwise. –  Feb 10 '17 at 20:33

    You need to remove the installation medium or change the boot medium priority in BIOS. This is explained in How do I install Ubuntu? – David Foerster Feb 10 '17 at 23:25

The possibilities are as follows:

1) You failed to remove the installation media when prompted to by the installer and your system is still set to boot from USB.

2) Your hard drive has failed and 1 is also true.

3) You neglected to verify the hash of your ISO and have managed to install a corrupted operating system.

These possibilities are in order of likelihood.
