Windows 10: Graphic driver issues causing serious problems; Windows re-enables Intel driver, uses over AMD.

I have an AMD Radeon HD 7800 series graphics card installed. It works fine 99% of the time. Occasionally something I'm running will cause the computer to crash, and on restart I'm greeted with an unlit (instead of backlit) keyboard and a black, blank screen.


If I force a shut down two times more and go into autorepair and enter via Safe Mode, I can see everything just fine, and I've figured out that if I disable the Intel Graphics Display Adapter via Device Manager that everything is fine again.


Occasionally, during a Windows Update, Windows will spontaneously re-enable the Intel adapter, and on re-start it goes back to the black screen. Of course, if I uninstall the adapter, Windows will automatically re-install the drivers for it and I'm back to square one.


Yes, all drivers I'm using are up-to-date.


Any suggestions?

:)
