Public bug reported:

Regression with Ryzen 3 2200G, UEFI Asrock B450 Pro4 motherboard and
55-75 Hz monitor.

Booting Xubuntu 19.10 live iso with safe graphics options did give a
stable desktop display, but

xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1920 x 1080, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1080
default connected 1920x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1920x1080     77.00* 
xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ 

The monitor is only supposed to have a maximum vertical refresh rate of
75 Hz. Xrandr reports 77 Hz as the only choice.  The monitor reports 60
Hz, not that I trust the monitor.

Swapping monitors and running many reboots the situation seems to be...

Old versions of Ubuntu (Bionic and Dingo) can handle the hardware.
Standard boot sometimes gives a blank screen.  
Standard boot sometimes gives a badly pixelated display 
(Ctl-Alt-F6, Ctl-Alt-F7 temporarily improves it).  
Connecting a 144 Hz monitor convinces something (the firmware?) 
that fast refreshes are OK on a slow monitor, or at least it fails to 
reread and abide by the slow monitor's limitations when swapping back.    
Something, I don't know what, convinces the computer to run the display 
at 60 Hz, sometimes. 

The motherboard has three video ports; DP, HDMI and VGA (using an onboard 
DP? to VGA converter chip).  The fast monitor has DP, HDMI and VGA ports, 
but I only experimented with the DP connection.  The slow monitor has VGA and 
DVI-D ports.  I experimented with VGA to VGA and HDMI via a passive adapter 
to DVI.  When running in the badly pixelated mode xorg seems to think that 
the VGA port is "DP-1".
