Subject: Re: amd apu crashes

On several crashes, it goes black, no log, than screen as was, no 
computer activity(no keyboard, nor mouse, but power to keyboard 
lighting), just allowed reset or power button. The triple threat was 
total blackout, and on destroyed drive, I think only power button, 
maybe reset didn't work??? So no kernel panic screen or efi shell if 
that's the question? I do have a snapshot of a case that didn't blink 
out monitor, and possibly no freeze but restarted out of what might be 
next. Note: was kernel 5.15 kernel, during picture, and the destruction 
of drive. Prior non-issue kernel I'm thinking was 5.10? I assumed first 
triple threat was btrfs, 3 blinks for destroying drive data and its 
backups, and when I took this shot was reconstruction of older projects 
and data, but felt wasn't kernel but questioning gtk incorrect use of 
graphics. I also can't recall ever an issue under 5.10, It just ran! 
(minor annoyances with some programs). Possibly related, now that I 
think about but not looked into, Kodi crashes more frequently and was 
running on a couple kernel freezes.
