oh. crud.
isnt this a video driver issue?
is it possible to install the proprietary AMD drivers into manjaro?
yes, but won’t solve the problem, because it is only an additional part, the main part is what you are using. I dont use a amd gpu, but lets try some options:
Create file
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf
and add these lines there:
Section "Device"
Identifier "AMD"
Driver "amdgpu"
Option "DRI" "3"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection
then reboot.
Here are more options: amdgpu(4) — Arch manual pages
Just remove it:
pamac remove xfconf libxfce4util
file created, lines added, saved, hopefully i did it correctly.
xfconf removed.
restarting.
still glitching. 
Could you provide full system specs please?

Thanks! I don’t see anything out of the ordinary in terms of hardware specs.
You could try to upgrade the BIOS from F50 to F51 perhaps.
And in your first post it said amdgpu FAILED, it doesn’t say so now.
actually id rather resolve my most pressing issue first, before updating bios
forum.manjaro(dot)org/t/dual-boot-issue/18073/3
im going to be in deep stuff if i still cant boot my windows drive for work tomorrow.
my life is rapidly deteriorating
I have an idea, but could sent the output of;
lspci -nnk | grep -A3 VGA
to check which gpu you exactly have?
thanks
Well, the solution for now, and this maybe sounds like a hassle, if you don’t need Manjaro/Linux for work tomorrow, remove the drive entirely and see if you are able to boot into Windows.
Well, my suggestion for a quick solution. Solve Manjaro it’s problem, after work, when you have more time perhaps again, this is a suggestion.

The 3400G is an APU, it’s onboard graphics chip is a Raden RX Vega 11
(Not trying to patronise of course! Or undermine your knowledge!)
ive already tried disconnecting the manjaro drive, the windows drive still wont boot. i guess a grub issue. Im creating a windows installation with WOEusb . maybe it can repair the boot? Maybe i can just reinstall windows and recover most of my stuff from backups? holy moses this is a mess.
To point you in the right direction… (Off Topic) you need to find someone who can help you remove the GRUB files/folders from your Windows 10 drive.
I unfortunately don’t know how to do it myself
You could try is this:
It enables some features, which are not present by default.
Or it could be frequency problem:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMDGPU#Screen_artifacts_and_frequency_problem
set the gpu to high:
sudo echo "high" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
set the gpu to low:
sudo echo "low" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
with
watch -n 1 cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon*/temp1_input
you cant watch the temperatur of the gpu directly.
thanks guys i will try these and report back
I found the solution on ubuntuforums.
All i had to do is disable IOMMU in BIOS and no more artifacts!
thanks for you help, though!
