As noted, it should not freeze, if supplied 5V@3A which a spec compliant USB-PD supply should be providing, if there was not a successful negotiation for a higher voltage level.I tried running it on a USB power bank which is 5A fast charging rated, it won't take the power.
I tried running it on a USB-C 185 watt laptop power supply, it won't take power.
In both cases it will boot, but it will not draw high current and freezes/warns in the OS.
nevermind it is definitely going back. incompatibility with several different modern USB chargers or the fact that it is broken out of the box are enough.
The Pi 5 will not accept higher voltage levels and is looking for a PD offer of 5V@5A, which is not a common PD mode. I have a number of USB-PD chargers, without this 5v@5A mode, and they work fine with the Pi and supply 5V@3A.
While it is possible that the Pi is defective, the fact that it does not work with some random supply, that might not be spec compliant, certainly is not a Pi issue.
USB-PD is still a bit like the wild west and many multimode supplies only work with specific devices. Not quite as bad as it was when devices pretty much only worked with their provided supply and there were many many different sizes of barrel connectors and polarity layouts, but it is still a long way from universal compatibility and being able to assume that any supply with a USB-C connector is going to work to power a device with a USB-C power port.
