attached is the dump file.

I was watching fox news on my 2nd monitor i never had any issues with it before

happens at random and both screens go blank and the monitor goes into standby almost as if something is causing the computer to sleep.

only happens while playing aces high

Does it happen if you only run Aces High?

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Check your power settings in Windows.  If you are running Windows 10, those will get reset by Microsoft, from time to time, and they are not game aware.

If you are running an earlier version of Windows, disable power management entirely as it has bugs in it.
