Why can't you use the GPU. What is the adapter? Please edit your question and add output oflspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|Display'terminal command. I suspect that everything is OK with your GPU.

Use this command to see your kernel version:
uname -a
If your kernel version is 4.4 so you can update your kernel to 4.10 with this command:
sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04
this kernel support amdgpu.
