It's quite unusual since you shouldn't need to disable it. It seems like the problem might be related to software rather than hardware, as simply turning off the IGP resolved it. You may want to verify the Windows graphics settings to ensure they weren't altered to favor IGP. Additionally, check if any changes were made to the Windows power settings or profile.
None of them change, but you wonder if it could be a bad PSU like the other person mentioned. It looks like power only flows when the system is under load. You’d want at least some baseline power even when idle. I’ve looked into similar problems and haven’t found anything matching what you’re experiencing.
