display shuts off at random

[Austin Godber]

Anecdotally speaking, nearly all of my electronics have been freaking out
due to the heat, this includes:

* google chromecast not playing
* roku sound going out periodically
* sonos bridge needing restarting daily
* VR laptop only works if I put a box fan in front of it

You problems sound like they could be heat related.  If you have a box fan
of some sort and you can improve airflow in your machine, you might be able
to test it.  Or maybe your case could be better ventilated.
