Game Keeps Crashing Every 5 Minutes
My game keeps crashing every 5 minutes. I just updated my Intel Driver

I didn't install my driver with Windows Update. I got it from the website. It was working fine at first.
I want to check before intalling "ANYTHING" else. Are you 100% sure this is the latest driver? I went to the Device Manager, and it said my driver was up to date.
Go to here the driver I have linked is reported as the latest HP driver for that laptop
Intel and Windows drivers are generic and not always 100% compatible especially with laptops
So if I install this driver, I'll have to install something else to prevent the one I have right now from being installed again. Does that mean the one I have is the latest?
What is interesting is they also list the below sound driver
IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver
this is what sttray64.exe belongs too, so it maybe worth installing their version of that driver as well.
Ok, but do I really need that "Show or Hide Updates" thing? I'm wary about it. I'm not sure if it's necessary.

If you look at the known issues sticky at the top of this forum , Latest intel drivers are causing issues
the 4300 driver that you have is the current generic release from intel , 4248 is the latest release from HP , they are 2 totally different driver releases.
The Intel 4300 is generic , the 4248 is released by HP specifically for that laptop.

Only worry about it if windows auto updates the driver , if it doesnt then all good , if it does, its why they released that kb article to show people how to hide them.
Well ,it doesn't. The only way drivers are updated on this computer is by going to the website and installing them. I'll check it out tomorrow.
I would do both the sound and video drivers from the HP website
that IDT sound driver I mentioned is the one appearing in the crash list in the dxdiag
