When you are playing these games when does this issue usually happen?

[Qwerty]

At random times or during a specific event?

[_I_]

generic monitor driver is fine
only need a specific driver for touchscreen or non standard monitors

There is no other kind; Monitors don't have specific Drivers. That is what GPU Driver is for.

You upgraded to Win10; now you need to go get ALL Win10 drivers for all hardware.

If HDMI cable, try another cable. I specifically avoid ever using them because they are a poor non-secure connection type. For PC I would suggest DVI or DisplayPort when you have such a choice.

Disable Intel GPU.

When you are running these games, what is your usual frame rate?

[Qwerty]

Also i'll need to know your current hardware specifications.

This could be an issue due to low frame rate or low end hardware, that could be causing your Graphics drivers to crash.
