@mph18008 two things that come to my mind. One is the heat issue that you mentioned. Those displays can get toasty but they really should not get this hot. Makes me wonder if this is some sort of thermal shutdown.
Next thing is that it works with the use of those different adapters, even if it only works for a while. That makes me think that it could be a wiring/cable issue. You may need to check your graphics card connector a bit closer and see if there is any sign of overvoltages etc. or even signs of arching on the contacts etc. Do the same with the cable. I would also try the monitor on different equipment to see if it still shuts down. If so, then the issue is at least narrowed down to the monitor.
-Could you change the all in one cable? Sure you can ;-) Start off by checking the teardown [guide|126212] to see what you would get yourself into. On the bottom of that page under Attached Documents, you will find the PDF teardown. Download that one since it has more information about the individual circuit boards and the all in one cable. Scariest part will be to remove that panel :-)

I still don't like the getting hot part. While you have your monitor open, double check the main board and the LED driver board. I would think that this is where the heat originates from. Double check for anything that may look like it is/has overheated.
Let us know what you find out.
