AMD has been working feverishly to resolve intermittent black screen issues affecting some Radeon RX 5700 series owners, but hasn't quite eliminated the problem entirely. If you own a 5700 series graphics card and are still experiencing them, you should try installing AMD's latest GPU driver.

The update (20.4.2) address nearly a dozen issues, several of which are related to system hangs and crashes in various scenarios. It's not just the Radeon RX 5700 series, either.

• Radeon RX Vega series graphics products may experience a system hang or black screen when running Folding@home while also running an application using hardware acceleration of video content.
• A system crash or hang may be experienced when using Edge browser to play Netflix content.
• XSplit may experience an application hang or freeze when performing a scene switch.
