Sapphire 6700 XT Pulse not POSTing after PC has been shut down for some time

I got this card about a month ago and for a few weeks it was working fine. Then suddenly it wouldn't POST anymore. If I restart the PC with power button enough times eventually it will turn on normally. Then I can turn the PC on and off with no problems, but if I leave it off for a few hours or overnight it won't POST again giving VGA error beeps.

When it turns on it functions normally. I did a stress test and can play games all day with normal performance and temps and no crashes or other issues.

If I remember right before this started I installed full install of Adrenalin (used PRO driver version before that). No clue if that could actually brick a card like this.

I've tested all cables, updated motherboards BIOS and reset CMOS, removed drivers with DDU and reinstalled, tried previous Nvidia 1660 Super with no such issues. Basically almost everything that's suggested in many posts about similar issues besides testing the card in another PC because I don't have one.
