Windows 10: Power Saving Switch has been set to "Graphic" and the error window appears everytime I...

Since loading update 1809 on 4th October I get the above warning message every time I switch on my laptop. It recommends that I reboot and the problem will be solved but it isn't as after the reboot the same message appears. It seems to be linked with my Intel(R) HD graphics card. I've tried to up date the driver but it comes back with the driver being up to date despite it being loaded in 2012. I've loaded the windows below. I have taken 1809 updates today but they have not solved the problem. I've also switched "fast start up" on and off to no avail.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem? First time I've had use the community.

Frequent and random appearing BSOD 'internal power error'.


Update: Still haven't got any BSOD.

But, my favorite game Dungeons2 still freezes during the game. Now, it already happens while loading a new or saved game, so I can't play at all now. *Sad

So, yesterday I updated the graphics driver manually from package "amd-catalyst-15.7.1-win10-64bit" to the driver in package "amd non-whql-win10-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-relive-16.2.1-sep20" from within device manager. It is the newest driver the AMD site has available for this graphics card.

the driver now says:




I tried to play dungeons2 again yesterday, but the same happens. The game freezes while loading a saved or new game. Once I got it to run, but it froze after a few minutes. The temperature of the graphics card isn't elevated at all. (around 55 degrees.)

This evening, I did the FurMark test for 1 hour. All seemed OK, see the screenshots below.

after 20 minutes:










after 1 hour:










I also tested another game (War for the Overworld, Minecraft) the past days, and I could play these games for hours without problem.

Finally, I run DM_collector this evening and uploaded the zip file.

What should be my next step? Start with the driver verifier steps, or e.g. reinstall dungeons2 first...?
