Cannot fix Generic PNP Monitor driver issue

Before I start I am using a Toshiba dynabook REGZA All-in-One PC D713/T3KB with Windows 10 if that helps.

Starting a week ago I encountered a problem with my computer, particularly when watching streaming movies or playing games, in which it would freeze with a loud constant tone would sound. I restarted the computer in safe mode and open the device manager.
There was the yellow triangle on the "Generic PNP Monitor" driver. I uninstalled it and restarted the computer. When the computer restarted I tried to update it but it kept saying that it was up to date. When I tried to update all my drivers everything seemed
fine. Then I updated my Display adapters driver (Intel (R) HD Graphics) seemed to make my problem worse. I uninstalled that driver and the computer would seemingly run fine but every so often it wold be running but my keyboard and mouse wouldn't work and I'd
be forced to reboot at which point everything was fine again. I searched online for help but most problems with Generic PNP Monitor suggest unplugging and reconnecting the monitor but I have an all-in-one PC so I cannot disconnect the monitor because the computer
is the monitor. No matter what I try every time I start in Safe Mode there is the yellow triangle on the Generic PNP Monitor.

Also twice while this happened I received a blue screen informing me of "Driver_Power_State_Failure" but have not seen or received that in three days.

What should I do?
