If you can try a newer kernel (4.16 or 4.17rc), try enabling the new dc modeseting code (append amdgpu.dc=1 on the kernel command line in grub). What type of display (DVI, DP, etc.) is your monitor and what physical connector is it connected to on your board? Are there any adapters between the card and the display? Probably best to file a bug (https://bugs.freedesktop.org) and attach your xorg log and dmesg output in both the working and non working cases. The best way to sort this out would be to use git to bisect what commit caused the issue.
