This problem only happens if I put my computer through sleep cycles. On a fresh restart I can launch both photoshop and premiere without problem. Once the system freezes, I can't do anything but to force shut-down the laptop by long pressing my power button.
The following thread describes similar issues but for a different driver. I've followed the suggestion and manually installed the latest driver from Intel (the OEM didn't work) for my intel graphics card, but the problem persists.

Any help is very appreciated!
