    [SOLVED] Changing refresh rate to 74.99 Hz causes black screen on login

    The problem was the HDMI cable. It appears theres some sort of bug in the latest 5.14.8 kernel that causes some issues with the latest ryzen chips (5700g in my case) and hdmi. I swapped the hdmi for a displayport cable and now everything works fine =)

    [SOLVED] AMD 5700g screen flashes black for a second

    Update. I got my hands on an AMD HD 7970 (very old) and ran mprime again. No screen flashing black now. And I can set the refresh rate to 75 hz no problem. I'm guessing it's a problem with the BIOS and these new Ryzen chips??? Or maybe there'll be better support with kernel 5.15?

    [SOLVED] AMD 5700g screen flashes black for a second

    I'm using Nix OS with kernel 5.14.8. and I'm loading the amdgpu drivers. I benchmarked the GPU and it's working fine. This problem isn't distro specific. I've tried arch and Ubuntu. Same problem. It's a desktop.

    [SOLVED] AMD 5700g screen flashes black for a second

    I've been experiencing some CPU instability. (I think) Every once in a while my screen turns black for a second. I found out I can force this behaviour by running mprime. Firstly, mprime gets stuck at test 1 and shortly after the screen starts flashing black every 30 seconds or so. This...
