It fixed the issue but windows update will overwrite it. I had to reinstall after a windows update.

Can't you hide the correct update so Windows won't overwrite it on the next update?

You can hide updates, but I haven't seen it come back up since I reinstalled the Intel driver. The name of the update was "System Hardware Update - 10/24/2013"

It's a pretty general name, so if more like that came up, I'd still install them and reinstall the Intel driver afterwards in case there are other important updates in there.

Thanks for the info. When I get off work I'm gonna try the zip file. I tried the exe file too with no luck... so I'm hoping this will fix it

Installing the new drivers fixed that problem for me.. thank you everyone who chimed in

If you need help doing it let me know...

Installing the drivers with the zip file worked for me too. With the Intel graphics control panel I did turn off the display power saving technology under the battery power tab... and the save power while gaming thing too. Thanks so much for the help everyone!

Mine seems to be doing the same thing, do you guy's have a link to the right driver to download? I downloaded the zip file
from Intel but my Surface told me it was up to date (I assume I'm doing something wrong).

Thanks
