So I have my config with following specs:
Processor : Intel 3.2 GHz LGA 1150 4570 i5 4th Gen
Motherboard: MSI H87M-G43
HDD : 1 TB WD Blue
RAM : 8 Gigs Corsair Vengeance DDR3 : 2 x 4 GB CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9) running in Dual Channel mode
Cabinet : Cooler Master E350N
PSU : Corsair CMPSU-430CXV2UK 430 Watts
OS: Windows 10 Pro (updated to latest version: 1511).
I only play Racing and Indie game and since HD 4600 is a really powerful internal graphics, so far haven't felt the need to spend upwards of 20k on a dGPU.
So, all was going fine and dandy until yesterday when I tried to stream my gaming to Twitch. So I used Open Broadcaster Software to stream content to Twitch. And tried to play Moto GP 13 on it. It goes fine for sometime but later the graphics driver gets crash. The game was also warning about low video memory so decided to increase the video memory from BIOS. The BIOS had three options.
First one was to choose between PEG and IGD (Integrated Graphics Device). But as per the source, this setting doesn't matter. So I didn't change it from PEG.
Second setting was to set the Video memory to. I set it to 246 MB.
Third setting was for dvmt memory. It stands for Dynamic video memory technology. I set it to 256 MB which was the max option.
After setting all of that, I started windows. But my PC still says that it have 128 MB of dedicated video memory.

But on top of that now whenever I play, graphics driver gets crash and I get a warning that it was recovered. This leads game to sometimes becoming unresponsive and other times whole system freezes. When I try to stream, after a while it too crashes giving some cryptic message.
So am I doing something wrong? I can't increase the video memory of my PC?! I am perplexed.
