Hi Lina,
This is a relatively new computer. Do you have the non-free AMD firmware
isntalled?
The packages you probably want are firmware-misc-nonfree and
firmware-linux-nonfree
Does the /etc/apt/sources.list file include entries for contrib and non-free?
What is the model of your video adapter: if I remember, you have an NVidia
card in there? [Nvidia GT730]. Optionally, you can install proprietary
Nvidia drivers -
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Version_460.91.03
Hope this helps narrow down the problem.
All the very best, as ever,
Andy Cater
