Ubuntu – Ubuntu18.04: Black screen on shutdown/reboot

18.04amd-graphicsamd-ryzenrebootshutdown

My Thinkpad E495 with Ubuntu18.04 halts/freezes in black screen on shutdown/reboot. Nevertheless, it boots fine even though I need to hard shutdown via power button. Disabled quiet splash in grub but on shutdown it does not show any logs.
I tried to reboot with sudo reboot -d or sudo reboot -f but it still ends in a black screen.

System spec:
AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with integrated AMD Radeon vega grahpics

I am happy to provide you with any logs, just point me in the right direction. Right now, I do not know which logs or what keywords to look for.
