TTY occasionally flashing after new GPU

I installed a new AMD GPU in my PC and have three issues in the TTY:
- When booting, there is a brief random jumble of pixels at the top, maybe 10 pixels tall
- The TTY cursor blinks unfathomly fast (maybe the refresh rate is higher?)
- There is a blink about every minute where the screen shortly blanks

My X session works perfectly apart from that.  But how can I fix my TTY?
