My Dell Inspiron N5010R has a Intel HD Graphics card. I haven't had any problems with it until a couple of days ago. I have been running the Windows 8 DP since September without any issues.
So the problem is the screen suddenly goes black for a few seconds before it automatically recovers. In the notification area a tooltip is shown which says there was a problem with the video driver.
Now, I have the latest driver installed and no such error had been occurring for over 2 months of Windows 8 usage. What could be the reason for this?
My guess is the GPU is overheating. Could that be a possible reason? I don't know too much about hardware.
