Intel GMA 4500MHD Crashing Randomly

Mmm seem to be a magnet for problems lately.. Starting to get annoying actually.

Anyways.. whenever I play a game called 'RuneScape' my graphics randomly crashes, its a CPU Intensive game but not graphic intensive. If it helps I have all my drivers up-to-date, and here is the stuff 'View Reliability History' gave me for information.

Code:

Wasn't sure if I should have put this in Graphic Cards or Drivers

Uhm, any ideas? I can provide more information as needed.

I have been using Windows 7 RC (build 7100, x64) and this is about my.. 8th reinstall. I got the drivers directly from Intel's website. It only does this when I play a java/browser-based game called RuneScape.

use the ie 8 compatibility tab feature, cuz runescape takes MINIMAL resources compared to some other games lol
otherwise, you can also restore ie , srry i really have no good ideas =(

Well that'd be fine and dandy, if I used IE. :)

It does it with Firefox (3.5.1/3.5.2) and Chrome (3.0.197 Dev Build), haven't tested it on other browsers because its so random, I'd be waiting forever. lol

the best thing i can advise is try different versions of drivers (that includes the vista and 7 ones, i should better say to try both wddm 1.0 and wddm 1.1) and see which one of these latest drivers dont cause a problem...
sometimes new = bugs (just look at ati and nvidia for a example...)...

I'm thinking its a Windows 7 specific problem, never did it in ... I hate to say it, Vista.. I've tried other drivers too, it didn't help much. I crashed more with older ones actually.

Off to bed I go!

While yes, this is a Win 7 issue. It is not a specific Win 7 issue. It is a driver issue with Win 7. They (Being Intel) have not fixed the issue. And it is quite friggin annoying.

I get the problem when I reboot my laptop. Seems to be fine most of the time when I just shutdown and start up again.

I have the Intel Graphics Media HD (Core i5) and it's the same file

X64_0x117_Tdr:2_IMAGE_igdkmd64.sys

It's a driver issue,, and most of the time,, when it crashes,, it mentions something about XP.
I think they took existing XP drivers and just tweaked them slightly and said "here, they work!" but, kthey work half assed.

You may want to look at the date a post was last made. This thread is ancient, no longer even have the laptop that had this problem.
