I had shutdown my mac using my keyboard after the screen god hanged. While I tried to reboot the laptop, it got stuck in a booting loop. I used the recovery mode to reinstall the macOS but since the installation has completed the screen appears black with a green cursor and after sometime it automatically shuts down.
Can someone please help me out in this
P:S I had recently updated the OS just before sometimes it got hanged

Thank you Alex for taking out your time and helping me out, Finally I solved it by erasing my drive and then reinstalled catalina in recovery mode.
The only external device attached was my earphone. I am using MacBook pro(16th inch, 2019) , catalina version 10.15.6

Hello Kaushik,
Was the display active and displaying progress when you were reinstalling the macOS using the Recovery mode? If you never saw the macOS installation progress and the display remained blank then you may have a hardware issue with the display, GPU Cable or the GPU itself. If you saw the display show progress however installation never completed then it could be a failing SSD.

yes, the display was active and I can see the progress bar and when it was just about 3 minutes to complete it shuts down, restarts with a black screen with a still green cursor(*which i cant move), I have also checked if there is any hardware issue but no issue was found. Before my laptop hanged I had switched it on the whole night, (this might have caused a problem).
I have left my MacBook on for days at a time (Wake and Sleep modes) and continue to do so without issues. So leaving your MacBook on all night shouldn't be an issue.
Which MacBook Pro are you using? Are there any external devices attached to it?

Great News Kaushik! You did it. I was going to recommend erasing your drive in Recovery mode as the last resort and I believe you made the right call and have this resolved. I hope that you had your data backed up and did not lose too much of that information. Stay Safe Kaushik!

Black screen with green cursor (booting problems)
