Display driver stopped responding and has "successfully" recovered

My Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 keeps having problems, if I do anything that puts strain on it (ie gaming or even a screensaver) it stops working, my screen goes black for a few seconds, and I have these pixel-like dots around my screen as well as displaying Display driver stopped responding and has "successfully" recovered, I realized my NIVIDA GeForce GT 640M was not set as the global driver for my games, I set it as such and had no problems for awhile, recently though a game slipped past these settings (for reasons unknown) and the problems started up again. It does not matter if I restart as long as I have the Intel driver activated I have these problems, if I disable it however these problems stop. I have tried updating all my drivers and my .NET Framework and it does not help. It usually last from anywhere to the one time to a week, I can not tell why it stops other then leaving my computer off for days but I need a more permanent fix, I am afraid it might be hardware related but I want to exhaust all my options before taking it in to have it opened up.

My Dxdiag is as follows, obviously I can't show my display driver as it need to be disabled just to boot windows:  Machine name: J_MOORE Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130828-1532) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.

when it displays the display driver notification it tells me for Windows 8(R), despite it being Windows 7, this may be due to the fact that the model was originally Windows 8 but was rolled back to
