  1. Check system updates: Ensure that the system is up to date by running the following command in the terminal.
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
  1. Check graphics card driver: If you are using an Nvidia graphics card, the driver may be incompatible or in need of an update. You can install the latest Nvidia driver using the following command:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-XXX

XXX is the model of your Nvidia graphics card.

  1. Check the system logs: Use the following command to view the system logs and search for any error messages related to Edge black screen or crashing issues.
journalctl -xe
  1. Disable hardware acceleration: Disabling hardware acceleration in the Edge browser can sometimes resolve black screen crashes. Enter the following address in the Edge browser to open advanced settings:
edge://settings/system

Then, turn off the setting for “Use GPU when available for hardware acceleration.”

  1. Reinstall Edge browser: If the above methods do not solve the problem, you can try reinstalling the Edge browser. Start by uninstalling the Edge browser.
sudo apt purge microsoft-edge-dev

Then reinstall the Edge browser.

sudo apt install microsoft-edge-dev

Hoping the above methods can help you solve the issue of Edge black screen flashing on Ubuntu.
