I came here from 1969351. On a rig with two identical AMD GPUs (First driving one monitor, second driving three), I'll sometimes have the one monitor disconnect, but it won't detect the failure or cause the other three screens to rearrange until I try to apply a change in Display Settings, after which it will show the one monitor as missing. The system will continue operating normally for a minute or two, before crashing back to the login screen

Dmesg shows these entries:

- Sometimes the system crashes to the login screen during a screen lock without any interaction
- Sometimes the system crashes to the login screen when attempting to unlock a locked session
- Sometimes after unlock a session shows all the windows rearranged or consolidated into a single workspace as though a monitor was briefly disconnected. Often windows are 'maximized' with a strange offset from a monitor's edge, which is fixed by re-maximizing the window.
- Sometimes after unlock everything is fine.

I have crash reports for the most recent failure in /var/crash, though I'm not sure how to provide them. _usr_bin_gnome-shell.1000.crash is nearly 70MiB
