As per the Lenovo forum thread it appears the only way you will be able to play this game on that laptop is with a BIOS update. Sorry I do not have better news.

Creating a GPU profile will tell your PC to specifically use the GPU (860M) rather than your on-board IGP (Intel) when playing:

Hi !
Have the same problem. Did you slve it meanwhile? I think i read anywhere that this game doesn´t support laptop graphiccards? Not sure but htis would not be that funny...
Please, Someone elsemust have had the same problem, right? How did the others fix that?
I have the same system specs that you have so i am having the same problem.
@Support: Maybe something to think about: my display only has a refresh rate of 48 and this cannot be changed. Maybe this might be worth a look at? On the other hand if this is not the reason, maybe its NVIDIA OPTIMUS what causes the problem?
Best regards,
Michael

I do not think having a fixed refresh rate is a problem. Your GPU may be however. Can you post your Dxdiag (info on how is linked above) here too please.

Here you are
Question is : did someone get an answer on fixing that issue for the thread opener? I got exactly the same problem. As you can see my machine should be able to play the game since it allows me to play Starwars Battlefront or need for Speed Most Wanted without problems.
I think that maybe the port from Console to PC is the problem and that some games need to have 60Hz as refresh rate (what i cannot put in my settings because it is prohibited). Maybe its good for you to know that not only Dead Space1 but 2 and 3 do not work as well and if you know the game Dark Souls? This is something that i cannot play as well vecause as soon as i enter the options menu it crashes. That is a console port and that is why i am thinking of the same reason here with Dead Space 1,2 and 3.
I know that you will ask me to create a unique profile for Intel Settings (resolution / refresh rate) and so on but it does not work. I attached a screenshot. Sorry for the language(its German) but it says that it is not possible because its "over maximum bandwith capacity".
Last thing for your information: my Display itself supports 4K resolution but it does not matter which resolution i enter, its always locked at 48Hz.
Thanks for your help!
Best regards,
Michael
