That sounds like Xorg crashes? Can you provide the Xorg.*.log(.old) file
from the crashed Xorg?

If you try

 DRI_PRIME=1 LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo &>/tmp/glxinfo.txt

does that also cause a black screen? Please provide the contents of the
/tmp/glxinfo.txt file it generates.

Looks like the message is related to that, but harmless; it's just what
happens to become visible when Xorg presumably crashes.

These might be harmless as well.
