I agree that this probably isn’t Surface Book specific – I was talking to some of our EUC guys last week, and they’re reporting the same problems on the new Skylake Lenovo laptops we’ve been given for testing as well.

I get this all the time for my Intel driver. I am not on a surface book though, just a regular gigabyte P34. My colleague also gets the display driver crashing regularly and restarting causing small pauses as it recovers. Happens to me a few times a day since the latest Win10 update. - Glav From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ken Schaefer Sent: Friday, 27 November 2015 12:45 PM To: ozDotNet <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: RE: [OT] New laptop Mine’s arguably getting less stable – several BSODs over the past few days (INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR) after redocking. Either that, or the unit just locks up requiring a power-off. Display driver still crashes, but not as often as prior to the last system update. Hardware wise, it’s a great laptop (do take note of Stephen’s comment re being able to push the screen back – it makes it important to have your desk at the right height to allow you to use it ergonomically. Same issue that affected the Lenovo Helix, Samsung Ativ etc.). It’s just a pity that the software lets it down. On the positive note, software issues can be fixed relatively easily I guess.
