Did the problems start right after updating to Ubuntu 20.04 or did you
sucessfully use Ubuntu 20.04 already before the problems started?

This could also point to a hardware problem with the main board that
happens to affect the slot the graphics card is in. 


Apart from that you might try to test a graphics card that uses the
newer radeonsi driver (anything AMD R5+), they are available e.g. on
ebay for reasonable prices. 

In any case the right channel tp report bugs is here:
