Random Signal Loss with Intel Decode Fixed with BIOS Setting

I recently built an i5-10600k system to use for BI. With the latest Intel graphics drivers, I would get random 1 second signal losses from cameras with Intel hardware decode enabled. For each camera it would be up to 20 times a day. With no acceleration enabled, these same cameras went weeks with no signal loss. After confirming the Intel graphics power profile was set to high performance, I looked in the BIOS and adjusted power settings there.

I found that on my Gigabyte motherboard, disabling RC6 Render Standby, under the Power section, resolved my signal loss problems.

I searched the forum for references to the setting and didn't find any, so I figured I'd post it here in case anyone else has the same issue.
