Can I ask if anyone has had problems using the Intel GPU as their primary graphics (I use my Nvidia card for crunching only or running my computer with FreeBSD) running the Intel BRPS program and having the screen turn off (power saving mode)? I find that when I allow the screen to turn off to save power, I come back later and some of the workunits stop crunching and just sit (no progress bar movement, just the time counting upward) and sometimes Windows complains the driver has reset. With Windows 8 I never had this issue, but since upgrading to 8.1 it happens from time to time.

If this is a laptop instead of 'turning off' the screen set it to change it to an all black screen instead. That way you aren't powering off the screen just changing it to an black screen. Any screen saver you use will take away from your crunching ability, it takes both cpu and gpu time to tell the screen what to do, but a black screen should work and use very little energy or processing power too.
If it is a desktop just push the power button on the monitor when you walk away and set the settings to do nothing at all, no screen saver, no powering down, no nothing.
Thanks for the advice. I have a desktop and I just turn the monitor off now, but I am forgetful sometimes and leave it turned on when I go out. It just seems like a waste of energy to me. I wish there was a way I could troubleshoot the issue but oh well.
I'm not using my HD4000 under Win 8.1 with driver 10.18.10.3379 as my main display, but I have connected my main display via VGA and extended the desktop to that. And I have set a display timeout, without any side effects. My monitor is set to display the DVI input by default, but over VGA the GPU should't be able to sense this. So it should be analog to running the main display via the iGPU.

Just make sure it's a 9-series driver and not a 10-series, the version should start with 9.xx and it should work.
Intel Driver version 3257

Which driver version are you using?
