    Using Intel X3100 graphics processor.

    When playing WoW, the screen goes black for about 2 seconds, then returns. I tab out, and there's an error that says driver igfx stopped working, but was fixed. This happens once every 5 minutes to every 3 seconds depending on the graphic intensity. Sometimes it gets so bad that the computer just crashes. All the game settings set to low and it still does it. I have the most up to date drivers according to Dells support section, is there anything I can do to fix this?

    Did this happen to only Wow or the other games also?
