    I'm getting pretty much the same error. Although I'm on a Razer Blade with switchable graphics and I'm getting the DirectX error about the integrated Intel card..

      Can anyone else check their event logs and let me know if you get a VRAM report?

      I have a feeling this is a VRAM issue, that is why it takes a minute to error-out.   Shanghai China crashes quickly because  it has so much going on......memory leak?

      This is what I had:

      Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance/Operational
      Source: Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance
      Date: 10/29/2013 2:38:00 PM
      Event ID: 500
      Task Category: Desktop Window Manager Monitoring
      Level: Warning
      Keywords: Event Log
      User: LOCAL SERVICE
      Description:
      The Desktop Window Manager is experiencing heavy resource contention.
      Scenario : Video memory resources are over-utilized and there is thrashing happening as a result. Reducing number of running programs and open windows may help resolve this condition.
