Re: Radeon R5 M230 failed when booting, then disabled

You could try filing a bug at the kernel bugzilla, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/

To get a feel for what kernel devs expect from bug reporters, you could check https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204727
That bug report was made by another new archlinux user and solved in a few days.

Re: Radeon R5 M230 failed when booting, then disabled

I wiped my entire disk and got Windows on it.

Weirdly in Windows the GPU works sometimes but fails afterwards

I’m now suspecting a hardware failure...

Re: Radeon R5 M230 failed when booting, then disabled

Nope. No luck with it.
DDUed my Intel and AMD, and then when I install the Radeon software, the screen flashes for 2-3 times. Usually when updating drivers the flicker goes off after 3-4 seconds but now I can’t. It stuck at 3-4 seconds then BSoD. The driver is installed because when it BSoD I disabled Radeon in EFI and it booted successfully. Then when I check DDU it says the Radeon driver is present. 

After the BSoD (THREAD STUCK IN DEVICE DRIVER LOOP), if I boot with Radeon enabled, its just a blackscreen(black light is obviously on). So I guess my Radeon somehow dead

Re: Radeon R5 M230 failed when booting, then disabled

This does indeed sound like a hardware failure.

Could you try the R5 M230 in another system for testing ?
Specicfications & OS of the other system don't matter, as long as it works and can accomodate the r5 radeon card.

What, this is a laptop GPU big_smile 
I gave up on it. I can't bear with an Intel GPU but honestly I am tired of trial and errors.
Hugely appreciate the effort u paid over those months, and sorry for wasting the time investigating an issue that ultimately turns out to be a simple hardware failure.

Re: Radeon R5 M230 failed when booting, then disabled

Here is an image of what HWINFO64 reports. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ … nknown.png 
Please note that this is a report WITHOUT the Radeon driver. Windows used to auto install driver but it can't now. When I click "Update driver", Windows tries but immediately says unable to find driver. The manufacturer of the video controller is unknown in Device Manager.
