Did you try the Xen power.c patch?

It sounds like a Xen panic. Some or all AMD Fam15h processors change their 
CPUID feature bits after resume, which triggers a Xen panic (LEDs and fans on, 
screen off, keyboard and power button unresponsive). There is a patch and 
instructions towards the end of this thread: 
https://www.mail-archive.com/qubes-users@googlegroups.com/msg31517.html - It 
takes some work but it sounds very likely it will fix your problem. Sys-usb 
causes other problems on a lot of Ryzen machines, so continue to keep it 
disabled for now.

It doesn't sound like a graphics problem. Usually X or amdgpu issues result in 
the screen's backlight coming on but displaying a blank screen, and often the 
keyboard is responsive just not the screen. At least in my experience.
