I have a system with an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU and an Sapphire Pulse AMD RX 7600 GPU. The system runs Pop_OS 22.04 with kernel 6.9.3-76060903-generic. The motherboard is a Gigabyte A620I AX with BIOS version F31b.
Intermittently, during bootup, Pop_OS fails to initialize the GPU. Visually, the system either seems to hang at the motherboard manufacturer's branded screen with the BIOS and boot menu hotkeys, or the screen remains black with no HDMI video output. Pop_OS continues to load, though, and I can SSH into it.
This issue is similar to, but not exactly the same as, the one found here a few years ago. In post #5 of that post, the OP seemed to be missing some firmware, but that firmware is present on my system:
I'll emphasize that the issue is intermittent. Four-fifths of bootup attempts are ordinary and successful; the system boots, I see the login screen, I log in, and get 65 fps in Cyberpunk 2077 with the help of Proton on Steam. At idle, the system draws about 70 watts of electricity. But when the system fails to initialize the gpu, its idle draw with a black screen (or the motherboard manufacturer's post screen) is two hundred watts!
This is dmesg after a successful bootup:

I'm quite unsure where to go from here, so I'd be grateful for any help y'all can offer

Mine came from the same place! I'm not sure if abandoning the card will be an option for me. I suppose I could RMA it and hope for one with a newer firmware, but I'm always hoping for a software fix.
