Do I need to assume that if it triggers an error message now when activated, that I have a broken graphics chip there? I have never gotten said error message before. Or is it the driver of the chip that got screwed? And are we talking about the graphics board, or any chips on the mainboard?
In this Avira forum I have also posted the logfiles of the system scans via Avira Premium Secuirty Suite and Hijack this:

igfxtray.exe is a process which allows you to access the Intel Graphics configuration and diagnostic application for the Intel 810 series graphics chipset. This program is a non-essential system process, and is installed for ease of use via the desktop tray.
Download the graphics adapter from your motherboard makers site. Get rid of the graphics accelerator and download the same driver from Intel and the problem will be gone. Third party download can be the problem, windows may not be able to authenticate it every time it starts.
