Ubuntu – Can’t start Ubuntu 18.04 with GTX 970 (Ryzen 3 2200g GPU has no problem on boot)

amd-graphicsbootpcie

I only could install Ubuntu 18.04 using the Ryzen 3 2200G GPU, because if I used the PCI-E videocard NVIDIA GTX 970, it was impossible causing the error

kernel panic fatal exception

with all Linux distros. After installing Ubuntu 18.04, I can only access it with the Ryzen GPU because if I used GTX 970, I got only a black screen and the system gets stuck.

My PC is a dual-boot system and the GTX 970 works fine with Windows 10.

My specs are:

  • Motherboard Asus A320M-K
  • DDR4 2400 8GB
  • SSD 120 GB Kingston (Windows 10 and boot grub)
  • Seagate HDD 2TB (Linux)
  • NVIDIA GTX 970
  • Ryzen 3 2200G with Vega Graphics

The problem returned and I had to uninstall Ubuntu. In short: I can only use linux if I use the integrated Ryzen card. I am still unable to use the GTX 970 because I can not install linux through it.
