Sudden green screen of death on GNOME ( Wayland ) with RX 7800 XT

Hello folks,

I have experienced a very weird issue that I havenit experienced before: A green screen of death.

First of all I wanna share my system specs:
CPU: Ryzen 9 3900x
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT
Motherboard: B550 chipset
Power supply: 750W
RAM: 32 GB DDR4-3600 memory

I have two monitors. One 1920x1080 60 Hz ( no adaptive sync ) monitor and one 2560x1440 165 Hz ( with adaptive sync ) running in parallel.

Before I had bought the RX 7800 XT, I never experienced any issues with my computer, everything worked just fine, as one would expect. My GPU was the GTX 1050 Ti and I was using the proprietary Nvidia drivers back then. With that GPU, however, I never experienced a green screen of death or anything similar. ( While I was running that GPU, I didnit have the QHD monitor )

And then I bought the RX 7800 XT.

As I have two drives installed onto my system, I can dual boot into my Fedora system for productive work and into the Windows system, which I only use sometimes for gaming, so I donit end up trashing my Fedora installation.

I began to notice that somethingis wrong, when I was playing Starfield on Windows and I got a green screen of death on only my FHD screen. I thought, that it just was a windows-thing as Windows mostly seems to be a buggy mess and didnit investigate further as it didnit happen so often.

However, today I had the same problem on my Fedora installation. Out of the sudden, while reading some stuff in the browser, I saw the green screen of death only on my FHD monitor. In the booting process directly after the green screen, however, I noticed, that it was saying something like iHardware errori which didnit happen before the incident. I couldnit find it in the logs, but maybe I was reading the wrong logs.

I find this very weird and would like to find out, whatis the problem. If you need specific logs or other information, feel free to ask for them, Iill try to respond as fast as I can.

Thanks for reading!
