Windows 10: Graphic drivers problems & DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

Hello,I'm having some issues with my laptop.Unfortunately I am not an experienced user, but I think there is a connection with the graphics drivers, because the problem always occurs when I use Photoshop type programs. Normally the problem occurs like this: I use a graphics program for a while, a sudden crash closes the program, I reopen it and try to use it again, I am no longer able to use the touchpad, Windows suddenly stops and I get the BSOD with DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.Also the moment I try to reuse the graphics program a message appears that the graphics rocessor is not compatible.

Custom Driver : Intel HD Graphics & ATI Combo (Alpha) - by nIGHTmAYOR

according to laptop support page they do list an old downloadable driver for intel for windows 7 , weather this is related to there being several variants of that laptop or this laptop has switchable graphics i may just suggest you reset the bios and see if things change , if yes you may be able to apply step 2 , if not then apply step 4 and call it today , you are still better off being on the high performance gpu .

Out of curiosity can you take a snap shot from Settings > System > Display. Scroll down and click the “Graphics Settings” ?
