My best guess is that your graphic card isn't getting kicked out of power save mode even though it's needed.
None of the computers i have access to have dedicated graphics solutions from intel though, so i'm not sure how to fix this if that is the issue.
But you should have a program called "intell graphics control panel" on your computer, there's got to be a setting for such there.
My best guess would be the in the 3D tab, eigther under the global settings or target applications settings, but im unable to find screenshots from those pages.
Is there anything on those pages to permanently enable your dedicated graphics card? Or disable power saving options?
