Hum... I tried on my GPU and... It seems it don't do it anymore.
Anyone can confirm it's really the Intel Graphics which do that?

depending on your card Amplitude stopped support for ES1 years ago but technology and software marches on. Oftentimes issues arise from specific hardware combinations but can be a myriad of reasons.

ES1 doesnt has issues with certain cards or processors but it can have issues. My first thought was "GPU driver" but the timewindow you state along with increased fan activity point to overheating but then your laptop would crash, not just the game. Some kind of code conflict that your PC cant resolve with throwing more performance at it.

My goto solution always is to check the game files. Steam offers a simple functionality for that. Right click on the game in your library and select "veryfiy game files"

sounds liek softwre issues.

MTB covered some good tips.

I would try to find some updates chipsets and graphics/audio drivers if possible or just reinstall them to ensure they are not causing issues.

"SFC /scannow" in the command line might be helpfull

"SFC /scannow" said it had some corrupt files. I didn't know this command.
I already did a lot of things like driver updates and scans too but it didn't found nothing until now.
But my issue is not here anymore since i'm using my real graphic card to play this game, but thanks!

ohh i know that issue from other older games..

the game is in fact old. it runs with 2 GB CPU and 500 mb graphics.
BUT we use these days way bigger resolution then back then and we have other hardware as back then. meaning the game would need more then 2 gb cpu and 500 for graphics.. and it crashes.. you have more .. we all have but the program of the game is not able to get/take/use those.

the game is not able to reach out for more resources. i had that issues for a couple older games for example dragon age 1.

in the community guides for dragon age 1. a guy posted a program witch patches the game so it can use more resources from your computer.

i am about to start endless space and was wondering if there is some insight in the discussion here. had the game for years now and never played.
so maybe some one posted a similair patching tool for the game here.
if i am not wrong a patch like that should technicly work on other games to.. but i dont know for sure. its just a gues.

maybe the endless team does a patch for this maybe not i dont know.

It only happens with his Intel UHD though, not with his dGPU (4060 Nvidia).
Which actually hints upon...GPU issue. And likely tied to this but in a different way.
That eventually something is not enough for the game with the intel GPU:)

I can play this on my OLD (2008) ASUS Laptop M50 Series Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 4GB Memory and windows 7, runs perfect!

I have a 3060 and I had this game crash, too. I wish for people to stop slapping on flex tape with that "Oh it's just a just a simple just a generic blanket term problem thing let's not look into the specific and let's ignore the weirdly specific details"

The game stopped any support back in 2015, the chance of it being a hardware related problem are indeed substantial
