Green screens on AMD 6800XT

I'm running into this problem, A few weeks ago I noticed that eventually it didn't like running two monitors at the same time. Sticking to a single monitor only reduces the problem not eliminates it. When this happens the system will crash and be non responsive, and all screens will turn green and eventually it emits some beeps. https://streamable.com/z0mvcv

I've noticed that it happens more often when trying to go into a wayland session than x11.

I tried completely reinstalling the system with the guided installer and using the AMDGPU driver it recommends.
I updated the motherboard's BIOS. Is it possible to update the GPUs bios without going to windows? That's the only thing I can think of that I haven't tried.

Would appreciate any tips or ideas in troubleshooting this further.

After rebooting from the crash post a complete

sudo journalctl -b-1

As for updating the firmware which would definitely be a good avenue to go to, that depends on your mainboards update mechansims, most modern ones I've seen allow you to put a update file on the ESP or using a FAT32 formatted USB to update the firmware.

OP has already updated the mobo firmware, he was asking about the GPU.


No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: Green screens on AMD 6800XT

A whoops misread that, shouldn't most of what's relevant here be in linux-firmware?

try booting with the amdgpu.dc=0 parameter

I think you can't do dc=0 on newer GPUs. The driver needs the DC code path to be able to do output on Vega and Navi.

[Watches vertical video because: fucking millennials…]
beeeeep-beep-beep is from the BIOS and means there's no GPU, so it's either badly seated or underpowered.

The posted journal covers only about 1 second  and has a timeout warning when taking control over the fbconsole.
Did that boot "crash" right away?
Because it doesn't fit "I've noticed that it happens more often when trying to go into a wayland session than x11."

From that description, try passing "amdgpu.dpm=0" to the kernel.
Otherwise also ensure that you connected the dedicated 6/8-pin PS if theres any.
