Alienware X51 R2 - Display randomly shutting off
Just recently my computer has been randomly turning off display. This will only happen when I turn it on for the first time after a shut down. It will load Windows, stay on until I try to load a game or application. After loading something, about 5 minutes in my display will turn off but my PC is still on. I have verified it is NOT the monitor as I have plugged it an Xbox and played multiple games on it.
After the display turns off, I will do a hard shut down by holding the power button. After it boots back up I am able to continue doing my normal things without it turning off. Not sure what it could be? And again, it only happens when I boot it up after a shut down. But after that it works normally. Any ideas or has anyone experienced this?
The only thing I have not done is change the HDMI cable going from the PC to the monitor. Thanks in advance.
