Thanks for information and explanation about that.

Your advice help with this a graphic card.

Why my topic is "It happens again".
I have the same problems with mouse and keyboard after changing operating system they not working. The problem what I wondering exist in bios and hardware or could be wrong. With my observation if I using one operating system on a any computer then there is no conflicts. Example is Apple everything working for apple login. That must be problem a corporation produce mostly hardware for windows and not for linux. That why often problem with drivers and etc.
M$ is a big corporation with totalitary and buying a power with a money. Sadly but true.

My graphic card don't like linux operative system.
After some 2 hours i get black screen. I don't understand.
@Aravisian last time it works without problems.
This is very sadly.
Where is the problem? Something problem with nvram when I don't playing a games or have opened many websides? Don't understand.
For internet and webbrowser my processor with 16 GB it could be a problem. The webbrowser don't need my gpu. Only connected port with hdmi to monitor. Weird anyone have some ideas?

I am not sure, either... Hawaii Radeon... Can try some more searching.

Yes. That's correct Hawaii Radeon from MSI. On windows 7 working maybe rare times get Black screen when my observation was some bad online game then i get black screen. Warframe using steam not webbrowser. Really don't know where is the point with black screen. Difficult find where it comes. Mosty i suspect software problem. Hardware it could be one socket memory nvram broken if temp. high but Linux don't eating with xfce.

I agree with you, this one does look promising. Have you followed all the steps? I am curious about whether it works.

Bourne, can you try to paste links without google redirector? Then you will get a preview of the site.

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.
