So I recently bought a dell dock with a 180w AC adapter for my friend so that he can have additional external monitors for his setup.
However, every time he hops into a game, 20-30 minutes later the dock seems to 'lose power' and stops supporting the external monitors.
The dock is plugged into the gaming laptop through a USB-C cable, the USB-C port on the laptop is only DP certified, I don't believe it is a thunderbolt port.
I am not sure if this is directly a power delivery problem to the dock, or if it is maybe faulty?
Any advice?
