I goggled a lot about 3 question marks on grey screen during boot. Desktop PC is equiped in Nvidia card, works properly except this 3 question marks. For somebody problem is solved, for me - not. Below some infos about video config of this desktop PC:

From what I remember that happens when plymouth isn't able to load the configured theme, or if there's an issue with the video drivers. From the top of errata:
