Public bug reported: Since few weeks one time a day out of a sudden the screen turns black. There is a monitor message that it lost connection and user should verify the connection. All cables have been verified ok. Workaround: switch per monitor menu to TV, unplug and replug the keyboard cable, switch per monitor menu back to PC.
