Hello, so yeah I have a hp pavilion g6 2005ax laptop its got: ( note the laptop is dual GPU enabled it sucks though)
A8 4500m - processor
7640g- Integrated Graphics
7670m- Discrete Graphics
Now, the problem is that my 7670m is fried( so I think if you guys could tell me for sure ) my little sister spilled water onto my laptop and a little got in after that it wouldn't go past the boot splash screen I mean after the windows logo went away, a weird buzzing noise started coming from the laptop ( not from the fan from inside the laptop ). So I sent the laptop to a local repair store and they fixed it in a day, they said they like blew into it and re-solder the GPU with laser or something, laptop worked fine but after four days I was playing a game and the video drivers crashed, I restarted and again launched a game the game ran fine at first but then artifacts appeared and again video drivers crashed so I turned off the laptop. The next morning I booted it worked fine opened GPU-z and Furmark stress tested the GPU again artifacts but when I closed Furmark the GPU was still running like crazy as shown on GPU-z under 100% load I restarted the laptop and bham! BSOD after splash screen again and again so I gave it back to the repair man and he said its a problem with the harddrive the guy even wiped my previous harddrive
(idiot didn't even ask) so I went with it I had a spare harddrive replaced my previous one with that and laptop booted and graphics driver installed fine, I then ran a game at the repair shop on my laptop just to be sure worked fine checked with GPU-Z GPU was only under load in game not when out , so I happily got back the same night just out of curiosity I stress tested my GPU using Furmark and BHAM! same problem again GPU went nuts under 100% load and I restarted just to get the same BSOD right now I have re- installed windows on my laptop and and have disabled display driver update so at least I can use it is using windows basic display driver ( I did try a few things to fix my GPU or so I thought I tried the heat re- flow thing using a hairdryer and ended up with a small hole in the back of my laptop stupid me 
) .
Now what do you guys think?
And what I want to do is just disable the 7670m permanently like windows should not detect it and only use the integrated 7640g but I don't know how to do it help? I just want to this laptop to run an year or two more cause I do plan to upgrade but I want a very good upgrade so I am saving right now. I have also read that ubuntu allows powering of one gpu if its possible guide me through I am happy switching to ubuntu if this gets fixed.
