Welcome, sorry you are having issues. In order to help we will need some basic information.
What version of Ubuntu MATE
What are the hardware specs of the system you want to install to? ie CPU, GPU, etc
Have you verified the downloaded ISO?

It sounds like you switched from the nVidia GPU to the Intel GPU.
The link @mdooley has some great info.
We still need more information on the hardware and MATE version in order to help troubleshoot this..

Thanks for ur help
Regarding your wifi problem, without knowing what your hardware actually is, we can't provide a specific fix. Can you post the output of the command -
lspci -nn
please? Also check the following page out -
for Broadcom chip wifi. Otherwise see -

Still not working
I feel much better that it is not me 
Are you trying to run a Linux command in Windows?
Here is what I would try if Windows is still working:
Download and install etcher, rather than rufus https://www.balena.io/etcher/
Download Ubuntu Mate, verify the download, write to USB with etcher
Install on hard drive desired partition
Plug in laptop with a wire to your router if your wireless card is not working
Sudo apt-get update
Sudo apt-get install synaptic
Use synaptic to download and install hardinfo
Open System Profiler and Benchmark (hardinfo) look under PCI devices>network controller. This should give you your wireless card.
Check your wireless card if you need drivers to install.
Open synaptic and enter the name of your wireless card, hopefully your driver will be there and you can install it. Read the descriptions as there maybe more than one driver, install the correct one.
p.s. I have a broadcom card and have never had trouble with Ubuntu finding it, only Debian, as it is not open source. Used synaptic to find it and install it as I described above.
Good Luck!
I did Everything and Searched everywhere
The is no Echter that works on Windows
Yes, there is.
balenaEtcher - Flash OS images to SD cards & USB drives has both full installer and portable versions that work on Windows.
Good luck Patt_Down
Also remember that USB drive is your best friend before installation. Always run a live session to see what does and does not work. You can then work on solving problems before installation.
