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
