I have a Benq Joybook Lite U121 Eco netbook with the GMA500 graphics chip and a 1366x768 display. When I installed Win 8 it defaulted to the Microsoft Graphics Driver with 1024x768 resolution. I downloaded the Win7 32 bit driver from Intel website by running it in compatibility mode. However, the driver's performance is really bad and it causes random freezes.
I ran the Windows System Rating tool which crashed giving me an IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error with the culprit being igdkmd32.sys. This is a consistent behavior and the BSOD appeared everytime I ran the tool.
After reading on a few forums I downloaded the EMGD 10.4 driver from Intel, configured it and replaced the GMA500 driver installed earlier. The graphics performance is much better now, but random freezes still continue and running Windows System Rating still crashes the laptop with the same error referencing igdkmd32.sys
Any help on this will be much appreciated. Thanks!
