I want to access my recovery mode because I have problems with my nvidia drivers. But I don't get a chance to use my shift key because I have a black screen for 10 seconds (when I boot my pc) and the next screen that I get is the screen with the Linux Mint emblem on.

I first though that I didn't get a screen from my motherboard because my pc stood in Fast Boot but I've reset my cmos and now I'm sure it isn't.

What should I do?

Instead of disabling fast boot, you can un-hide GRUB. Note that this will also show all the boot messages instead of showing the Mint splash screen. In a terminal:

sudo -e /etc/default/grub

Comment out (put a hash in front of) the line GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0. Also change the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="", assuming you don't have any other options in there. If you do, remove quiet splash but it's up to you to make sure the options are valid.

Exit the editor with Ctrl-X, Y, Enter, then sudo update-grub.
