Bug Description

I have new notebook "Lenovo V310-15ISK 80SY0180RK" CPU 4405U, 4Gb RAM, with installed Windows 7 x86 and many soft on it. After installing Calibre 3.0 I can't see anything from the program on the screen. And I see hanging "calibre.exe" in process list (Process Explorer from Sysinternals) constantly. And instant exit after start Calibre when notebook works on the battery.
So I think its depends from video subsystem "Intel HD Graphics 510" (with latest drivers 21.20.16.4550) and/or power saving modes in the CPU 4405U. OpenGL 4.4.0(4.40). Open CL 1.2.
