    I'm getting some wired driver disconnected errors with HD 4600 + GTX 765M on a W230ST. Someone suggested rolling back to Clevo's OEM driver version.

    Googling about this gives different suggestions ranging from Driver Sweeper to just re-install, and I'm confused. What's the safe way to do this?

    old school members will use driver sweeper or driver cleaner pro to clear out any obsolete registry files that could conflict. now a days people just over write. but as you rolling back driver cleaner might be the better option.
    if you need the cleaner you can find it in the nvidia driver link in my sig below.

    clevo now only have windows 8 drivers for your model so if your using 8 get them here CLEVO - Download
    or sager has 7 and 8 Software Upgrade

    Thanks for the reply.

    It turns out that the Intel driver is not the problem. The NV Windows driver has a bug that crushes the card at random times when OpenGL is called with PowerMizer on. Disabling PowerMizer via a reg fix did the trick.
