Maybe I explain more when this comes. I used normally my PC then I get a black screen and switch button restart - something like force or kill all.
My temperature are not high.
Can you try
sudo apt-get -f update && sudo apt autoremove
command is incorrect with -f
Ok, try
sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt autoremove

Bourne, I am curious, is your computer set to HYBRID Graphics mode, or Nvidia only? You can install the Nvidia Prime extension to find out if you haven't already.
Also, does your computer have a MUX switch? I ask, cause I remember once hitting that, and my computer didn't want to boot in the OS until I switch back. So I just use software to manage what GPU I am using.
I primarily stay in Nvidia graphics only. And a good way to test your GPU, is to set your computer to only use the Nvidia GPU. And if your computer fails to do that properly, that begins to point at the GPU.
I also second the idea of running MEMTEST. Good idea to check your RAM and make sure its ok, as RAM can go bad. And if things in the end point to your RAM. Turn off the computer, unplug the computer. Press the POWER button to discharge the caps.
Then remove the RAM, clean out the area with canned air, including the RAM chips, then re-install the RAM chips. Sometimes a good reseat fixes booting errors too. And you might want to do the same thing with the GPU, a good reseat.
Computer working without problems from 2015 to 2021 march or something.
I taken diagnose hard disks. If one hard drive disk is plate and have a boot sector could be crashed, RAM i tested from bios, hard disk from software.
The most problems I get from graphic card R9 390 but newest model AMD also have this problems with black screen. Formatted hard disk to check if some software are malware. Put new pasta on graphic processor. Cleaning a computer.
Clear CMOS. Changed battery bios. Here some problems on photos what i discovered.
Find this side but I don't know if this help.
I can installing originally drivers from AMD
https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-r9-series/amd-radeon-r9-300-series/amd-radeon-r9-390
but i heard they are badly from open source.

I checked also I have to much kernels on hard disk.
Make sure monitor is good too, they can go bad showing same kind of thing.
Monitor is very old from 2010 Benq M2700HD
I don't know maybe it could be problem with ports in my graphic card.
Plug a different machine into that monitor, and see what happens. If the display looks the same, as with the other machine, then you know its actually a problem with the monitor. Wouldn't hurt to double check.
Monitor is ok. I have 2 ports hdmi and one vga and another computer working ok. I changed ports in monitor and this is only problem from PC where is MSI R9 390
Well thats a troubleshooting step out of the way, good job Bourne!
Does your machine have an integrated GPU on the motherboard, in other words, is there a GPU port on the motherboard? IF yes, plug the monitor into that, make sure that the bios is set to where that port is enabled, and then see how it does.
I am really questioning your dedicated AMD GPU right now, its very very suspect to me.
Yes he have Intel® HD Graphics 4600
Motherboard
Checked before and I don't much remember but also checked before and what I remember it wasn't problems but this is not for gaming and very slowly. In bios I don't have dual graphic cards. In settings I have only PCI-EXPRESS.

Well, if the motherboard connection works with the integrated GPU, then its safe to say its probably your AMD GPU has gone bad. And the only other way I can think of to test the GPU further, would be to take the GPU out, and stick it in another computer, and see if it works there.
And, if at the end of the day, it is true that your AMD GPU has gone bad, well, you kind of new that, and were planning to build a new computer anyways. So, better to know now I guess.
I changed one option in bios and get this. The graphic cards now I have two. The system start but using from PCI-E. See the photo.

At least you got it going again. You may have to update your drivers now that your using that Intel GPU. Thanks for showing the success pictures, and the info on the GPU.
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
Not sure if it will improve your situation with the browser, but it might. Either way, wouldn't hurt to run that I'd think.

I don't understand but now working two graphic cards. That is better or better choose one kernel?
