Random Black Screen crash - ROG Ally
I installed bazzite about two weeks ago and it was running fine for a bit. But recently I've been experiencing seemingly random crashes where the screen freezes and then turns to black. It first happened in Yuzu, which I assumed was due to running out of memory. In Yuzu's case the screen hangs and I cannot restart by holding select. Then I switched to playing Persona 4 Golden, which is a very light game comparitavely. Randomly, the game would freeze and the screen would turn black a few seconds later. The music would still be playing but no buttons are responsive. Holding the select button does vibrate the console but it does not reset it. I have tried running the Ally with Auto, 4GB and 5GB VRAM with the same results.
In both scenarios I've had to force shutdown the Ally.
I am thinking it might be due to all the packages I installed. First week I was tinkering with it and installed a lot of packages that I don't remember. Is there a way to reset bazzite? Thanks

Are your roms in the SD card?
my persona installation is on a mounted ntfs drive, never had this issue before. While yuzu is on an ext4 partition
I checked the system log and it was something related to amdgpu
i read online about setting amdgpu.mcbp=0, Ill try that and update in a few days
so no?
no what?
So external drive + internal ext4 partition
yes
no sd card
