No matter what I do after installation of Intel HD 3000 graphics always ends up looking like this: Reinstalled fresh 20 - 30 times during the last 4 - 5 weekends.Tried installing stuff in different order, drivers first, Intel Drivers Update Utility + chipset firmware updated (inf) first, update fully first, different set of drivers as mentioned above. I tried installing AMD drivers first, Intel first, I tried disabling AMD graphics in the Device Manager, I tried setting up custom resolution. I tried installing the drivers before and after installing bootcamp for Windows 7. I tried the Win7 64 bit driver, Win 8.1 64 bit driver, windows update driver. Laptop finishes installation, I am allowed to log in to windows and I can see two basic graphics interfaces in the device manager. I am installing Windows 10 Pro 64 bits using EFI boot, everything works great. Found out that the GPU supposedly works great from the drivers from Windows update. For some reason Intel decided to abandon HD 3000 graphics and does not provide the drivers for Windows 10. Few graphics glitches, not great performance. Refind allows me to switch between the installations without any problem. Fun fun fun.Script needs to be re-run if PRAM was cleared so I saved it as /boot/ FixAMD.sh in my ArchLinux. Thanks to this hack I was able to install MacOS Sierra, prepare space for unsupported on this laptop Windows 10 Professional 64 bit and then shrink the windows partiton and install Arch Linux 64 bit with Plasma desktop. What does it do? It tells the laptop to turn off discrete AMD graphics and to use Intel card. Mount -t efivarfs rw /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ & This is the script I have used while booted to Arch Linux live cd. So far I've managed to use a EFI hack to disable the discrete AMD graphics. This laptop has a i7 cpu, 4 cores 8 threads, I've extended its memory to 8 GB and I keep trying to bring it back to life. I am not a wealthy person and I love to tinker with the hardware. Its a common fault in those machines and the users were offered a replacement - there was a special recall program which ended long before I got my hands on this laptop. The discrete graphics in the laptop (AMD Radeon HD 6750M) is dead. This machine as many of its generation was dumped because of a graphics fault. I own a MacBook Pro 2011 A1286 which I got as a freebie from a friend who saved it from the corporate dumpster.
