Description of issue:
I have a laptop that is hooked up to a monitor (Dell A3821DW), where seemingly at random the screen will freeze up and go black; (both screens go black)
- the screen goes black, computer hangs and mouse cannot move, although if audio was playing, it's not interrupted
- the screen going black usually takes about 5 mins, before I think the computer tries to restart the driver and fails
- the computer switches to Nvidia drivers,(which is what I presume by looking at the device manager) which shoes a yellow triangle sign on the intel driver.
I usually disable intel UHD drivers when this happens, since the problem reoccurs quite frequently
Hardware :
Laptop is AORUS 15P YD-74US244SH
OS : Windows 11 21h2
Intel UHD Driver: 30.0.101.1960
Dell Alienware A3821DW (with default cables, using Display Port 1.4)
Steps to reproduce:
Reproducing the issue is very hard, as it's triggered almost at random, but most times when it crashes it's through the following series of events
- Use laptop without external monitor, and with intel drivers enabled
- Hibernate laptop
- Start laptop from hibernation and load into windows
- Plug monitor to display port 1.4
- Monitor is used in extended mode
- Laptop power mode is AC, with power cable plugged in
- Use laptop for about 2-4hrs and wait for crash
(Main applications running while crash happened : chrome was watching a video and Spotify as well - these apps were open before hibernating)
Loading into windows before plugging in the monitor may not be important, you can try different times : after bios screen, before switching on laptop)
I have tried multiple versions of the intel UHD driver but all seem to have the issue, please help
