I just built a computer based on an ASRock H-170M-Pro4 motherboard, Windows 10, and plenty of memory. As with my previous (non-gaming) machines, I use the onboard Intel Graphics (here the 530 Graphics), not a separate graphics card. I did not install any firmware or drivers from the ASRock motherboard CD; all the latest were downloaded from the ASRock Support site. The driver for the Samsung monitor was installed upon installing Windows 10.
Problem: about once or twice an hour, my screen flickers or goes white -- i.e., the graphics system crashes. I receive a brief dialog notification in the lower right corner of the Windows 10 desktop that the Intel Graphics 530 for Windows 8 has crashed, but recovered. If I am in the middle of something, such as a WordPerfect document, it is lost.
Now, I’m not using Windows 8, but 10. I’ve used earlier versions of the built-in Intel Graphics on prior machines (usually Intel motherboards) and never had a graphics problem.
Any ideas on what’s going on? Help appreciated.
