Monitor suggestions
Per E. Johannessen:
Hi Pete,
I've actually tried another monitor and the results are the same.
As you've mentioned before it could be that the card is not seated properly although each time it feels like it is correctly in place.
Think I'll try some cleaning of the slots and give it another try.
Dave Yeo:
Another possibility is the power supply not being powerful enough or starting to fail. Some of these graphic cards eat a lot of power.
Per E. Johannessen:
The PSU is 900W. If it's starting to fail I'd believe that the other GPU (RX580) also would be unstable, (although it is less power hungry).
I have, once again, tried the RX 7800 and I'm sure it was properly seated. Power and DP also properly connected. It still behaves as before.

I find it strange that there is so much problems with OS/2 video. I have a dell 30inch 2560x1600 monitor that runs without any problem. No problem with video cards, I don't have one, it runs from the built in video of the Ryzen 3 processor.
Per E. Johannessen:
It is not a problem with OS/2 video, same trouble with Win, like I mentioned:
---
Sometimes when I switch on the pc I only get a black screen.
Other times I get to the Lenovo splash screen (and can enter BIOS) and after the splash screen it goes black.
And then there are times it boots ok, get to the Airboot menu and can boot AOS or Win.
If I reboot from AOS or Win I randomly get one of the above mentioned scenarios.

For some reason this specific GPU will not work reliably with the ThinkStation P520 and Lenovo seems to be out of ideas.
(In another pc the GPU works fine.)
