Hello, I think I am experiencing the same issue so I am not opening a new bug report. Below is the description I also posted a question about:
I have upgraded to Kubuntu 20.04 from 19.10. Session went ok but after rebooting I noticed one or two times where my screen (external monitor connected via display port to my laptop) went on and off for 1-2 seconds. After the recent update to Kernel 5.4.0-40 and then to 5.4.0-42 these on and off instances are more frequent. System and sound etc works (doesn't hang) , only the screen goes black and on again, which is very annoying. This does not happen with HDMI cable connected, but instead there are some minor screen glitches, not very often though. I did not have any of those with 19.10...my system is details are shown below:. See especially the last part ie dmesg | grep -i i915. Note that reverting to kernel 5.4.0-39 things go back to normal.
