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.

I have the same a computer 1:1 but there is no problems.
Yes I have on processor a integrated graphic card but only with directx 10
Games not working on them. Maybe I need something change in settings bios?
I know i have choose only one graphic card not dual. MUX don;t find anythin only dual bios if one died then can using another.
OK when i get a black screen and switch restart button after that i have information my graphic card back to fabric settings.
Here it could be probably the same problems what on this link.

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.
From terminal

Make sure monitor is good too, they can go bad showing same kind of thing.

#20

Monitor is very old from 2010 Benq M2700HD

I don't know maybe it could be problem with ports in my graphic card.

#21

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.

#22

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

#23

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.

#24

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.
MSI Z97 Gaming Series Click BIOS 4 (UEFI) - YouTube How looking a bios

#25

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.

#26

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.

#30

no driver found for installation. weird.

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

I restarted a computer but on desktop I have now two mouse click points.
Webbrowser open now in normal size.
I get also this function but not on Zorin.

I didn't notice a thing after gold memory. Did you buy some gold memory? That must have cost you a fortune! Lovely screenshots BTW.

One good information about my Graphic Card R9 390.
I taken today stresstest on 3DMARK 93.6% pass.
Yes the graphic card was very warm, Now i know where in winter put hands to warm.
Don't find any problems artifacts or black screen or freezing.
My conclusion - before I started test I power off all hard disk. Changed PCI-Express. Fans from software MSI Afterburner 100%
Plug off some usb peripherals device like a camera and DAC.
On my PC connected only operative system. One hard disk external where is installed 3dMark. Mouse and keyboard.
The point what is what I wondering I remember when I bought long time ago a PC all new components, building in service shop where bought all components.
At home my computer taken blue screen from W7 and my graphic card was very hot. The solution and problem was poor power supply . Some chinese a name changed for Chieftec power supply and then working with some years.
Power supply is not expensive like a new graphic card.
Will tried testing some days to check if my suspicion are correct and wright.

Oh my gosh, of course, that totally makes sense!

One of the most common things that builders make a mistake of, is cheapening out on the power supply. Computer builders will spend hundreds of dollars on the case, motherboard, cpu, gpu, memory, but neglect the psu.

You never want to buy a cheap power supply, cause when they go bad, they often take out the entire computer along with them. Always stick with Corsair power supplies if you can. I always recommend the Corsair 850-watt power supplies for high end gaming machines.

Corsair 650-watt for low end.
Corsair 850-watt for high end.
Corsair 1200-watt for top of the line.

I also recommend that you always go with a power supply that is at least 80+ GOLD as the minimum spec for efficiency. However, if you can swing the extra cost in the short run, you will save money on the power bill in the long run, with 80+ Titanium.
