My display disconnects after booting. I see the windows loading screen and then I hear a USB disconnect.
I have tried different monitors.
I have tried different power supplies.
I have tried different video cards.
I have reformatted and reinstalled windows 9 times. What's interesting is after I reformat windows I get about 20 minutes of functionality then it drops out. The most recent time I reformatted I immediately started a windows update. I thought maybe if I did it would restart on it's own and an update would solve my problem. What's odd is after a half hour I checked it and it was in the installing phase past the download phase... and the display was back.
Of course that required a restart and what happened after I restarted? The signal dropped out after the windows loading screen appeared. I have headphones plugged in and I can actually hear the USB disconnect sound that indicates something is being disconnected.
I am at a total loss for what to do here.
