    This has been a problem for me since day one with the laptop in my sig, no matter if I used Windows 10 (all versions), 8.1, or 7, even the stock factory image.

    This error occurs on many laptops with either Intel or Nvidia graphics, and while there are several threads about this issue, it took me a long time before I found a solution that worked for me. The combination of running on batteries and watching online videos like youtube causes the graphics driver to crash, although I obviously don't think that's what causes all event 4101 errors.

    Solution: I disabled all three settings shown in the picture below. Now I guess there's only one of them that actually causes the crashes, but I lost interest in trying to figure that out as soon as the crashes ended..
