Heya,
I'll try to be as detailed as I can but if I miss anything important just let me know.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 on a HP DV7-6108TX specs are;
The problem I'm encountering is blue screens caused by what seems to be some kind of incompatibility between IE and the intel graphics driver. I'm getting PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA blue screens, faulting module is igdpmd64.sys. At first I assumed it was RAM, so I tested some new RAM with the same specs and some old 4GB 1600MHz RAM that I know was working fine and ran into the same problem. I also tried reinstalling both the base graphics driver and Radeon graphics driver from scratch to eliminate that as a possiblity.
With some reading it seems the DV line has a problem with a windows update that was causing this issue that is related to IE10. This particular update isn't installed so it led me to test IE11 as the cause. I stress tested the computer with multiple IE windows open and the BSOD would occur generally within 3 hours (tested 5 times), sometimes quickly sometimes toward the end of the period. Next I tried running the same stress test with multiple Chrome windows, the laptop ran fine for 18 hours straight, upon opening IE it crashed almost instantly.
I want to try reverting IE to IE9 just to avoid programs that use IE as a background process (such as Skype) from causing the BSOD. I've tried all the typical things for uninstalling IE such as:
The current version of IE I'm running is KB2929437 which I believe is the most up to date.
Any ideas on other ways I can revert IE back?

- Installed updated -> Internet Explorer 11 -> Uninstall; fails saying an error has occured, not all of the updates have been uninstalled.
- Using CMD
completes without errors but doesn't actually achieve anything, tried with and without a restart after successful completion.Code:
FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*11.*.mum /c "cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /quiet /norestart - Adding DWORD value InstalledByUser to Internet Explorer registry and attempted both of the above again.
- Reinstalling; Unable to as I "already have a more up to date version"
The current version of IE I'm running is KB2929437 which I believe is the most up to date.
Any ideas on other ways I can revert IE back?
