Kernel Power (Event 41) with intel HD4000 driver

Hello, please help me with my problem.

When I switch from the Microsoft VGA display driver to the intel HD driver I constantly get a Kernel power critical error and my PC reboots. This occurs just as windows 7 has finished loading. I can roll back the driver in safe mode and get a stable PC again.

The PC is an i5 3550, Gigabyte Z77-DS3h motherboard, 8gb ram. 550w PSU.

Here;s the Event log:

Okay, got it. If you have a Gigabyte Z77-DS3h motherboard, make sure the bios is up to date (version F6 is current)

Will repost on Gigabytes forums!
