Have you updated the bios? Did you flash both OC and Silent bios?

My updated flashed OC bios refuses to work with black/green screen frezes here and there, looks like the same driver issues as the 5700XT cards have..

On the other hand, in silent mode with stock bios it runs fine without any issues so far, with the latest drivers.

Hi,yes I did flash both bios. Maybe I should reflash back to stock bios?

I would try it, at least one of the bioses I would flash to stock. As it is now the silent bios stock is still working OK for me, whenever I do get crashes now it seems to be due to the amd driver.

Since the rx 5600 xt is built on the same chip as the rx 5700 (xt), you are experiencing the same problems, we are all waiting for AMD to fix this issues.

How about 5500xt? Is it on the same chip as 5600xt and 5700xt?

Also the red devil rx 5600 xt here. Had black screens all the time with the updated bios (performance). Only thing that helped was flashing back to the original bios.

Does this mean some rx 5600 xt's aren't stable at the higher clocks from the new bios? Means we should RMA our card, right? Or is it still a driver issue?

Have you tried the latest OC bios? They released one a few days back that seems to be more stable for me! Also the latest amd drivers helped me alot with the black screen issues

Hi I flashed back to stock bios,so far no black screens or BSOD, it's been 24 hours I think. Do you still experience black screens with the latest bios?

Zero so far, but i havent used it more than a few hours (15-20h) and i use this card mainly for streaming so.. i have not tried any games. Before the latest bios i ran Furmark and it would crash 2/3 times, with the latest bios ive had 0 crashes in the 6 Furmark tests i did the other day. 
Here are my score if you wanna compare also, Furmark Preset FHD 1080p tests

OC bios with Fan locked at 85% (updated with early February bios)

that's really good news,I will flash the latest bios as soon as I get home, thank you for letting us know !

To clarify im also using the 20.2.2 driver.

Hey, that's a good catch, seems the red devil OC bios was updated 27/02/2020. The bios I had was from before that, so will try that one when I get home!
