1.	Solve : Remove or uninstall intel graphics drivers from linux?
Answer» OK so I have a HP dc7700 small form factor PC. Something is funny with its on BOARD graphics. Currently itis running xp. If I install the correct graphics drivers I downloaded from hp, the system will crash. This happens with all versions of windows after xp have an Intel graphic driver included with the install, they have the give the same problem. More specifically my problem is my PC with the correct graphics drivers will artifact badly, then the screen will flash and hang or windows will blue screen and restart. Currently it is running xp with whatever VGA drivers it picked and runs fine. But I want to use it to connect to the internet. Also I much prefer Linux anyways due to how customizable it is. Initially I was gonning to run Ubuntu 14.04 on it back when it was released. It installed fine, but I ran into graphics driver issues. On Linux, I tried various distros and of different ages and they all gave me the same issue: A graphics driver would crash and my cursor would not move on the screen any more. I could still move it, and click on things but the actual sprite would not follow the cursor. Kind of hard to explain... Sorry. Anyways I was wondering if there is a way to remove the drivers that at are being installed by default by Linux and install the ones being used during the installation process.Quote More specifically my problem is my PC with the correct graphics drivers will artifact badly, then the screen will flash and hang or windows will blue screen and restart.

One last test before installing a new video card to replace the integrated from having to run graphics is a memory test using memtest86. Sometimes you can have a memory problem and because integrated video allocates like 64MB of system RAM ( varies depending on motherboard for MAXIMUM allocation) for the integrated GPU, it will cause problems... however artifacts are usually a cooked GPU.As this PC is hopefully only temporary, only a month or two, I don't want to stick any money into it.

I ended up replacing the video card for $30 and installing this video card into the next newer system that I got. Are you planning on buying a new video card for the next system.
