So here is the thing. I was playing on this laptop for last 2 years without any problem. New games, old games. New games sometimes on high settings, running smoothly.
But for last month, I cannot play anything, I cannot work with 3d software, I cannot watch videos on twitch and youtube with more than 15 bookmarks in chrome, because PC will freak out or even better - it will BSoD me 5x per evening.
Problem is, whatever I play, even games 1500 years back in time on low settings, Intel graphics HD 530 decides to jump on 100% for no reason and then crash my game to desktop, without any error message. Tried on every single game on steam that I own, and I do own a lot. I was trying to reinstal windows back to factory settings, I was uninstalling new, old, every graphic drivers manually. I paid 50 euro for a laptop service. Nothing helped. I have 1300 euro gamign laptop which cannot play "mines" or "poker" without crashes. When I let any game run without moving, it will play. But when I do something (end of turn, open a map, enter a car, pick up something), it will crash because of intel graphic card.
When its in the mood, it throw BSoD on me with DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. (Before it was sometimes VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (nviddmk.m.sys))
I am really flustrated since I spent nearly 80 hours during this month just to solve this. Finally last week I found the problem (intel GPU jumps to 100% and crash the game/ browser).
Look at this screenshot of task manager:

those spikes are reason of those crashes most probably. its running on 4%, and then boom, 100%.
Any ideas what it could be? Btw, it got much worse after Windows update, before it was in a few games, since update its in every single game ever made.
I would be really glad for any help, I am so tired of solving this and next time I see BSoD, this laptop is flying out of a window. Thank you very much for your time, I appretiate it!
