Ubuntu 16.04.3 and AMD R9-380X problems(Delayed boot and gpu fans spin at maximum speed)

Asked by Nikos

I installed ubuntu 16.04.3 and my gpu is R9 380X. Since the kernel update the amdgpu driver that worked out of the box in 16.04.2 doesnt work anymore even after i update ubuntu. I saw that AMD released a new version of AMDGPU-PRO driver with support for kernel 4.10 and i installed it but there are 2 problems.

When i choose ubuntu on GRUB the screen turns off for about 14 seconds and the GPU fans start spinning at maximum speed. After 14 seconds i see the login screen and the fans dont stop spinning.

So i am trying to find a solution to why the screen turns off (delayed boot) and why the fans spin at maximum speed. Am i doing something wrong? I searched a bit at google and i found that many people with the R9 380 have problems but i didnt find something that might help with my problem.

If you boot an older kernel is it OK?

Basically the problem is that ubuntu hasnt been updated...in ubuntu 16.04.2 the amdgpu driver works out of the box.
