gedit /etc/default/grub output is:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=4
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

Let me know if u need more output. This happens like 1 out of 5 times. But I do not want this to happen anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

It happens on hard reset or forced reboot.

The value of 30 seconds is set in /etc/grub.d/00_header

  set timeout=${GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT:-30}

If you want to change it, you have to specify your own value in /etc/default/grub

sudo editor /etc/default/grub

Add new line:

GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=4

and update grub:

update-grub2
