    My sz650 keeps flashing black every few seconds as the graphics driver restarts and displays the error the display driver igfx stopped responding and successfully restarted. This only happens while on battery in stamina mode, while using the nvidia card everything is fine and while the computer is plugged in everything is fine.

    I have tried downloading the latest intel graphics driver off intel's website as well as reverting to my original graphics driver but it doesn't seem to help, I have also upgraded the intel chipset driver but that didn't seem to help either. If anyone has suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
