I have downloaded AMD GPU Drivers (radeon-crimson-15.12-15.302-151217a-297685e) from AMD website. I searched for installation process and it gave me some instructions to install some stuff from command line. Two of those are not installing. The command was:

sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 module-assistant dh-modaliases ia32-libs

Without dh-modaliases and ia32-libs, I think I shouldn't install drivers.

The second problem I am facing till now is that my computer screen freezes and goes white or grey again and again. It has happened 3 times and it has only been an hour after installation of Deepin.

Another issue I am facing (not related this thread) is that when Deepin starts, it should this line.

DMAR: Failed to map dmar0

Is this some kind of problem? How can I fix this?

Second not related issue is that I am unable to find Gnome AlsaMixer. Without it, I cannot hear sound from right side of headphone.

Before attempting any proprietary drivers I would address second problem first. Computer should work fine with open-source video driver. Please provide system information and screenshot of your desktop malfunction. DMAR is normally a meaningless message. Deepin uses pulse audio

Thanks for your reply.

I have not installed "ia32-libs". Other than that, I was able to install everything else after some time. Proprietary drivers work just fine. Deepin Linux don't freezes after installation of proprietary drivers. I don't see pulse audio software anywhere. After updating, I was able to install Gnome Alsa and my headphone problem is solved.

DMAR message is still there. There is another thing I have experienced. Why login screen go away after some seconds while I am typing my email and password in Deepin Store? Also update speed is slow.

Sounds like you got it working okay.
On my AMD cards I get the DMAR mesg on all the different Linux distro's that I have tried I would not be concerned
