Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).
The AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000 series has the old TeraScale 1 and 2 micro-architecture. The minimum requirements for Blender 2.8x and 2.9x state that GCN first generation or later is required for running Blender.
Supported Graphics Cards
- NVIDIA: GeForce 400 and newer, Quadro Tesla GPU architecture and newer, including RTX-based cards, with NVIDIA drivers (list of all GeForce and Quadro GPUs)
- AMD: GCN 1st gen and newer (list of all AMD GPUs)
- Intel: Haswell and newer (list of all Intel GPUs)
- macOS: version 10.13 or newer with supported hardware
Unfortunately, this means that your GPU is below the minimum requirements and we don't provide support for it. Graphics glitches and even crashes due to unpatched bugs in the graphics driver can occur on unsupported hardware. You may have to use a previous release of Blender with lower requirements.
Please create a new report in case the issue is also happening on a system that fulfills the minimum requirements and uses a current graphics driver.
The is a known bug in the AMD driver that could be worked around if you are building Blender yourself (see T80804 and D9667). However, since the GPUs are no longer supported, this patch will probably not get accepted.
