Laptop and Dead GPU  

Hi.
I have a HP G62 laptop with a ATI HD5470 and Intel's iGPU.
The dedicated ATI died and my screen is always black (everything else works and I can boot and blindly type my password and hear Windows starting).
Using safe mode (where Intel's GPU work by default) it's impossible to install/access AMD's drivers/Catalyst center; this poses a problem because I can't switch to Intel's iGPU (it's done in the Catalyst interface).
If I completely uninstall AMD's driver in Device Manager and reboot the computer works because it doesn't see AMD's driver and so uses the integrated Intel's but... immediately after boot Windows starts to install AMD's driver and the screen goes black again. This happens without internet connection, so the driver is somewhere in the PC.
In the BIOS there's no video card options.

How can I impede Windows from installing AMD's drive?

Hi Read the Link carefully below ...

AMD Catalyst Clean Uninstall Utility 1.4.0.0 Driver - TechSpot

Thanks for the link, but the problem is not the uninstall but Windows installing it again right after reboot.

Can you access bios and disable ATI gfx or switch to select iGPU first on boot ?? not sure how many options you would get on a HP bios screen

There are no options at all in the BIOS related to GPUs.
HP BIOS is so basic it makes you wanna cry. It is also the latest version.

Yes I understand that but if all traces of the Driver are removed that should not happen ...

yeap, that makes sense. I'll give it a go and post back.

It didn't work, after reboot Windows started to install the drivers even without internet connection.
I'm giving up, been with this for the last two days. I'll use an older machine until buying a new one.
Thanks for the help .

The card states ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470
The driver is 8.741.1.1000
The laptop is HP G62 b10sp
