[2-3 second black screen, external monitor, gaming] Ryzen 3500u / Vega 8 in a T495 with 16gb

Hello, 

First time posting here. 

Got a 3500u / Vega 8 in a Thinkpad T495 and while plugged into HDMI, I get black screens during CPU intensive events in a game that I'm playing. 
The laptop screen functions properly, only happens to the external. 

I have the latest version of windows / drivers / bios, a good HDMI cable and a good monitor, all tested. 
Can't find any eventlog error. 

Only divergent setting is Freesync enabled in AMD Adrenaline, or on automatic. 

How can I fix this? 

My suggestions: 

1. HDMI to USB-C dock. (not tried yet, ordered it) 
2. Increasing TDP with ryzen controller, or lowering? 

I'm not sure. 
Regardless I bought this laptop for different purposes than gaming, I just want to fix this. 

Can someone advise me or had similar problems? 

Kind regards,

Sim
