1. Update Drivers: Start by making sure you have the latest drivers installed for your Radeon R7 M440 (or Radeon 530, as it now appears) graphics card. You can get these drivers from AMD official website.
2. Intel Driver Update: As with the Radeon card, make sure to install the latest drivers for the Intel HD 620 graphics card.
3. Auto switching settings: In graphics card settings, make sure that switching between graphics cards is done automatically and smoothly. You can do this from the Graphics Control Panel or Settings.
4. BIOS Update: Check for BIOS update for your laptop on Lenovo website and install it if available. Sometimes these updates can fix hardware compatibility issues.
5. Malware and unwanted program scan: Run an antivirus and antispyware scan to make sure your system is not infected with malware or running unwanted program that could affect performance.
6. Temperature monitoring: Overheating can cause the system to freeze. Download a temperature monitoring app (such as HWMonitor) and check if your components' temperatures are within normal limits while gaming.
7. Reset the graphics card settings: You can try to reset the graphics card settings to default settings in the Graphics Control Panel.
8. Lowering graphics settings: While playing, try lowering the game's graphics settings to see if this improves performance and prevents crashes.
If none of these solutions solve the problem, it could be a hardware problem and it would be recommended that you consult a qualified technician or contact Lenovo Support for further assistance.
