I would disable it, switching between graphics could cause this crash.
Do you know how I go able disabling it? This article in Lenovo Forums makes it seem like it isn't possible: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-...cs/td-p/714761
They want to disable the default GPU, I doubt that it would be possible.
I don't know how you could disable switching, because the switching feature is not present on my laptop as I cannot install drivers for my AMD GPU
Just found this thread and it sounds very similar to the problems I am having... BSOD even after reset to factory settings 0x116 We both have the same computer (Lenovo Ideapad u400) and are running Windows 7.
There are more with this problem, standard things to check is if drivers, GPU self, overheating etc are causing it.
I read in the above post about changing the settings in the CCC. I had tried changing it from "power saving" to "high performance" before for the Switchable Graphics, but I hadn't done it for both PowerPlay and Switchable Graphics. I just went back and tried switching everything to "high performance" and it seems to be working ok!! I tried Google, Facebook and Netflix and so far so good! I'm at work now, but when I get home tonight I'll try using it some more and see how things go. I won't celebrate yet though and will keep you updated! Thank you for all your help!
That is a thing I forgot, CCC part, probably because a lot of users are having Nvidia.
If everything goes smoothly, I sincerely hope, please watch it for a few days in case it happens again.
Opened up my laptop to get on here and thank you for all your help and "mark as solved" and of course got the BSOD again Same error as before and happening when I open up internet. It was working great for a few days though! I did try changing it to "high performance" again in CCC but it didn't help this time around...
Diagnostics Test
Clean boot
Please try the following:
- Open taskmanager
- Go to the tab startup
- disable everything
- Search msconfig and open it
- Go to the tab services
- Check 'hide microsoft services'
- Uncheck all other services
- Click apply and click ok
- Reboot if asked
See if the problem persist, if the problem does not persist enable in the startup tab in taskmanager 1 item and in the services tab in msconfig also 1 service, reboot and see if the problem persist. Keep doing this until you find the culprit or there is nothing left.
If the problem still persist, try booting in safe mode and see if the problem still persist
