[color=#1a1a1b] I've come across an issue that I've never experienced in the many years of using Dolphin emulator, and I was hoping some one has dealt with this issue and found or knows of a fix.
[/color]
 Whenever I play any game either Wii or GC, every 30 seconds or so, my screen will go black, and the monitor osd shows a "no signal through display port found" it comes back in about 10 seconds, but will happen again   constantly. I can still hear the game through my headphones, so I know it's still running. Also this is the only program causing this. I played Hunt Showdown for a solid 2 hours today, no issues. Also booted up PCSX2 and   absolutely no issues emulating. The games are either in ISO, wbfs, or nkit iso so I've tried all types of files too.


[color=#1a1a1b] Some things I've tried[/color]
 Prefer Max performance enabled on GPU

 Tried both a Dev and beta version of Dolphin
 tried checking/unchecking "scaled EFB copy/ Skip EFB access to CPU/ Render to Main Window" issue persists
[color=#1a1a1b][color=#1a1a1b] Uninstalled/Reinstalled Dolphin altogether[/color]
[/color]
 I posted this same topic on r/DolphinEmulator and got a few responses and was told to post here. One of the suggestions was seeing if the issue happens in windowed mode too. Funny enough playing in windowed mode,   caused no signal timeouts/blackouts. However once I turn on Full Screen the issue persists within 15 seconds of normal gameplay. Happens for both Wii and GC titles. My current monitor is a Dell[color=#1a1a1b] S3220DGF @ 2k via Display   port(DP). Monitor was purchased less than a week ago, and like stated above, no issues with any other applications or emulation software. Another user stated that Dolphin is somehow setting the full screen res to something   the monitor doesn't support. I have it set at an internal resolution of 4x native or 1440p. It does show it as 2560 x 2112. Like I said never seen this issue in the many years and times I've used this program. [/color]


[color=#1a1a1b][color=#1a1a1b] Is there a way to set the fullscreen res like in a .ini file or something? Thanks in advance for any help on this matter[/color][/color]

BTW I don't know why my post came out weird like above. Here's what I'm trying to say:

Dolphin doesn't ever change the fullscreen resolution.
My first guess would be your graphics drivers are failing/crashing. Are they up to date?

I made sure, I currently have the latest NVIDIA driver 457.09 downloaded on October 31st. May DDU the driver and re-download
