I'm using the Geforce 750m on a Lenovo Y510P, with Intel HD Graphics 4600.
I have the most current drivers from Lenovo, and I have also updated drivers with Geforce Experience, and set the dedicated card as my preferred graphics card globally.
I have a 120gb SSD, and I am not using a page file.
The laptop has 8gb of DDR3 ram installed.
Recently, when running graphics intensive games, the game will freeze up completely yet temporarily, with the exception of audio, which is unaffected.
This occurs if and when I leave the mouse idle for exactly 10 seconds, and the freeze resolves itself after a few seconds if I move the mouse. The more graphics intensive the game, the more difficulty it seems to have resuming.
This may be difficult to understand in text so I have recorded a video demonstrating the problem.

What I have already tried:
-Reinstalling drivers
-Power settings are set to Never turn off the hard disk.
-Others have suggested that a page file is to blame, I am not using a page file.
-Using the right-click context menu to select to run with the Geforce dedicated card.
-Use minimal graphics settings
-Close out all other applications
Checking with MSI Afterburner's performance viewer shows that I am indeed using the dedicated card (GPU1), not the integrated (GPU2).
However, we see that after 10 seconds of idling, it switches to the integrated card, but continues to switch back and forth until mouse activity is resumed.
Watching the process in Task Manager shows the CPU usage drop from 20% to 2%, and rises back up to 20% when the mouse is moved.
This seems to be related to some sort of idling mechanism. Does anybody know how to deal with this?
Thanks!
