  remove them:
  
  change the default #GRUB_TERMINAL=console  to  GRUB_TERMINAL=console
  
  This happen with a nvidia driver on a non uefi old mobo. Nvidia should have solved this issue, but still exist, as explained with that uefi example:

  Awaiting a nvidia fix that never comes, the best solution for now is to
