@yetdragon thanks for reporting the issue. I see issue #577 is marked as related and we have tried to duplicate this issue on different Arc systems multiple times and also my peer (issue - 577) tried multiple systems and configuration as well but we could not reproduce the issue even once.
I would like to know is there any background application running on your system, anything specific setting that you are using (multi monitor, resolution, and any specific steps after reboot or any specific startup apps) specific to your remote setup so we could try it out and check if issue is reproduced at our end.
I've tried to mitigate the issue in the past by unplugging every monitor and turning off every background application in the system tray, which made my machine virtually a headless server. However, it still crashed from time to time, so it must be some kind of application issue. I can't think of any graphics-related program that would cause this other than Intel ones, like Arc Control Panel or Intel Graphics Command Center.
Maybe it's some kind of idle mode power issue. I did enable ASPM and set the Link State Power Management to maximum. Other than that, I can't think of anything else.
I'll let you know if I find anything more.
Thanks, meanwhile I will give more try with headless combination, toggling power settings.

Description and steps to reproduce [Required]
Related to #577.
RDPing to a Windows computer with an Arc graphics card occasionally crashes the system and forces a reboot. I could not identify a definitive pattern, but it tends to happen when I RDP into a computer after some time has passed since booting the computer, though I'm not certain.
The issue seems to be an Intel graphics driver initialization error. I attached Windows logs below.
Since I'm not physically present with the computer, I can't update the driver, and attempting to do so through RDP caused some trouble in the past (I'm confident the issue would persists even after driver updates).

Application / Windows logs
This is the error from the system section of Windows event viewer (Meaning the computer is rebooted after error check):
I checked the Minidump file in the event log with WinDbg. It says that the error is
VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (116): Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed.
It seems the Intel graphics driver sometimes fails to initialize on RDP connection for some reason.
