    If you cross flash the card it'll be toast.

    Maybe update your Intel GPU driver...

    It's already updated, i already tried even with another OS, the crash problem still there. So imho it's an hw problem or a "lower level"(vbios) problem.
    The crash happen when i switch to the 8970m so it seems to be linked to the start of the vga in some way
