I have also some another solution. I have the same two twins a computers. On another the graphic card don't hesitate or don't have this problems. If i download a bios from there where isn't problems to save on there where is problem could it repair that second graphic card?
I can trying doing this all commands but i don;t know if on mac is the same what on linux.
The links was from thablet there is difficult option to find that or i am to dumb do that to find.

Here the same problem with option. You can use some translator.
Here is english guide more simple.
@Aravisian Off Topic: I have held off making a change right now, but once the problem source is identified I think this thread probably needs to be renamed to something less vague and moved to Hardware? Zab

With mouse and keyboard is now ok. People I trying help understand mystery black screen. It could help people who could have problems with that and blame linux. GPU-Z not working on linux
Only psensor to check temp?
Is this your PC with MSI motherboard (pictures) and the thread where your problems first started, but was OK on Z15.3?
No. This is not this. I put somewhere on topic my specification it was radeon R9 390 msi. Older computers support directx 10. Computers with integraded gpu support directx 10. Games mostly using directx 11 or directx 12. That why i need a graphic card external to gaming. Flash games on webbrowser don't need directx 11 or 12.
So I downloaded bios flash from my twins pc where isn't black screen and loaded to second with problems black screen.
Now i will testing on Zorin.
Usually every day i using Zorin but when it crashed then trying understand the problem where is it software or hardware.
Here working a game,webbrowser and spotify - temp.
After changing modification from tutorial.
From text log i found that information.
FriendlyEventName = Program compatibility issue.
You can closed this topic with my observation NVRAM2 on gpu have stable all time 62 temperature. Not changing don't be more put this problem on linux problem forum about gpu but software if will be working good or not good. Ok? Thanks for my understandable.
Here is better temp. vram2
I am happy to get normal temperatures.
This is what i doing tutorial.
Uninstalled software drivers with UDD amd. used bleach as root. Used Tweaking.com - Windows Repair on windows all in save mode. Then i flashed my gpu with only one bios for this graphic card from Tom's hardware. Next i installed one driver from cd plate original from this graphic card. Then i installed radeon-software-adrenalin-2020-21.5.2-win7-64bit-may21strong text. The temperature go down under 20 temperature from 62 temperature when you saw up. Modification bios not helped from tutorial. I hope my black screen go on some days. I also going with bleach tutorial what i needed was delete some regedit and files what could be gived unstable a computer.
I will take observation if I start using linux(where temperaturers was higher 59 temp.) then back to windows and if temperature go up then I will understand the linux gived higher temperatures on my gpu.
Linux temperature.
When I back to Windows my temperature is higher.
Only when I restart pc and don't start any webbrowser, game or spotify.
I noticed that on yesterday's temperature displays (gpu22, vrm2), Fan Speed = 0 RPM
Today (temp3) Fan Speed = 1765 RPM
Yes but my experiment was windows.
today to go Linux operating system.
Then I back the windows and my gpu is crazy.
About gaming and xfce.
When I using alt+TAB to changing windows, example spotify,vivaldi are ok but when back to warframe then I cannot. Like a mouse don't response or freeze or don't recognize a game. On Zorin 16 Pro i don't catch that problems.
I can trying update from xfce to xfce pro but idk if this help.
If you are dual-booting with Windows. On Windows do you have AMD Catalyst Control Centre app?
If you have it, you can access the Catalyst Control Centre by right click on Windows desktop.
That should provide you Informations and Settings for AMD Graphics.
I don't have dual booting with Windows. Two operating systems are diffrent hard disks. I tried command sudo update-grub but after restart linux not in option menu linux windows7. App i have but don't using that.
I suspictions somewhere in software must be some bug amd or something because my gpu working normal. Sometimes on some software i taken black screen. Something like some code or parts another things doing black screen. New version AMD rtx 5000 and forward also have that problems. It could also dieying my gpu but i cannot believe that.
I wonder if it is somehow kernel related, but as you have reported these problems before, I assume you have had kernel updates during that time.
Did you ever try any older kernels?
@Aravisian has said a few times that AMD is not best for Linux support.
EDIT: See this. May be applicable :
@zabadabadoo I remember first kernel with Zorin 16 Pro.
Everything working like I am in paradise.
With more updates it going worse.
Apple also is unix. One what I can sayed brothers Zorin better focus on one project. I know one a man wrote a linux Temple OS with 120 000 line a code.
I know this is hard work. I am using Zorin xfce without pro but i can sayed I seeing the diffrents. I can sayed Pro is better when tested Gnome version Zorin 16 Pro. I understand also if i want Pro xfce i need fresh installation.
I will working on this and checked how long it will be stable.
When Zorin 17 will be I also will buying that version.
I just edited my previous post as I saw something Aravisian posted about regression in kernel 5.13 affecting AMD Ryzen
I remember my graphic card have before two all the same problems from Zorin 12 and 15.3 black screen and mouse and keyboard what not working.
Now in Zorin 16 pro mouse and keyboard working. My graphic card working that means something changed for better. I don't understand one. On Zorin my gpu have 60 degrees temperature but fans on gpu not working. Why? That is mean on linux fans not working and that why i have high temperatures?
