Fun watch. Thank you for uploading it. We all appreciate you guys keeping this site up and running, more than you know. Otherwise, many of these WTFery-filled cinema moments would be unseen. Thank you!

I expected the film that makes literally every "must watch" or "scariest" lists to be scarier. The Omen does have its moments, and you can easily trace its influence on everything in the genre from The Final Destination series to Braindead/Dead Alive. I will say I had been putting off watching this one though because of the hype, which like The Exorcist didn't live up to it. It starts off fairly strong with the babysitter and the bits of the story with the photographer I thought were most interesting although that character was too weird, but otherwise it kind of fell flat for me.
I have encountered a persistent problem when loading games or playing mid-game, in which my display will suddenly go black and indicate "no HDMI signal detected". The issue has occurred across multiple games and multiple gaming platforms (Steam/Subnautica, Battle.net/Diablo II). Audio typically persists for a few seconds before cutting out as well. The only solution is to hit the power button and force the computer to shut down. The PC is just over a year old (so of course out of warranty). However, searching for this issue online indicates it is a relatively common problem with no obvious solution.
So far I have tried the following:
- Running the HP PC Hardware Diagnostic, everything is functioning properly with no issues detected
- Resetting the PC to factory default and reinstalling Windows
- Updating Windows and all other Microsoft products
@Itsmyname -- thank you for your prompt response. The issue only happens when playing games. I have not been able to trigger it with anything else such as YouTube videos, running intensive code in MATLAB, watching Netflix, etc. To provide more detail for my examples of when it does crash:
2) When playing Diablo II, the PC is able to run the game but sometimes randomly drops connection mid-game, sometimes drops connections during animation sequences (e.g. boss death animation), and always drops if I hit the windows button while playing (e.g. to check something in the start menu)
If this were a problem with my graphics adapter, is there a way to test that this is the issue beyond just best guess? Moreover, is this a part that can be easily replaced? I am less familiar with customizing/replacing parts within the computer.

My impression is that none of those apps are "graphics-intensive". I can imagine that MATLAB is CPU-intensive, but that it (and Netflix and YouTube) only occasionally displays graphics output, where "occasionally" means only 30 frames per second. This is in sharp contrast to high-end gaming apps.
It makes sense to try a different graphics-adapter (borrowed from friend/family?) to see if that "swap" eliminates the symptoms. Or, find a computer store with a "no-questions-asked-money-back-guarantee-within-3-days" policy, and buy a graphics adapter from that store, and test it.
