Do you have Intel or Nvidia Display adapter? It's unusual to have both.

Uninstalling each on Driver tab in Device Manager would only cause them to reinstall at reboot which might help. I would do one at a time.

Even if you check the box to uninstall the driver itself it will just reboot to Standard VGA Driver so you could then see what driver optional Windows Updates delivers after enabling Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware. This is the preferred way to get drivers in Win7 which is driver-complete.

Look over these steps to get a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 to consider getting the freshest start shedding all of the corruption caused by factory bloatware even after it's removal. You'll then at least be aware of the tools and methods which work the best based on thousands we've helped here.

I don't have any idea of adapter. Let me know how can I check that.
Right now I don't want to do a clean Reinstall.

I will try uninstalling & re-installing both drivers one by one and will check the problem.

Dedicated GT 520MX 1GB Graphics is what he has, what it is, is that the laptop is shipped with both drivers installed, the United Kingdom version got the Nvidia GPU, the USA version got the Intel GPU.

uninstall the intel drivers, and see if that helps. You should clean the drivers folder too, I can't remember exactly how to do that but I am sure someone will post the instructions for that.

I will try uninstalling & re-installing both drivers one by one and will check the problem.

Do not reinstall both only reinstall the one you have, hold the windows key and press "pause/break", click on device manager, and see what is listed under display adapter, that is the one you want to reinstall only.

If you have the UK variant it should be an Nvidia display.

I have 2 drivers (Intel & NVIDIA) drivers installed in Device Manager/Display Adapters.

So I think uninstalling Intel driver will do.
Please let me know is it OK to have 2 display drivers installed or this is the main reason for my problem.

Of 2 drivers (Intel(R) HD and NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX), i uninstalled Intel(R) HD driver.
After rebooting, standard VGA Graphics adapter got installed automatically.
My screen resolution diminished to 800 x 600 automatically.
I changed it to original resolution 1024 x 768, but still my screen and all apps looks distorted.
Will this VGA driver create problems while watching HD videos

Please let me know should I reinstall Intel (R) HD driver & uninstall NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX ???
Is it OK to uninstall NVIDIA driver?

If NP300E5A-S01UK is your correct model number you should only have an Nvidia GPU, the NP300E5A-S01UB came with the Intel GPU. try reinstalling the Intel drivers (Get the latest ones), and reboot, after that uninstall the Nvidia and see if it tries to install the generic drivers after reboot.

Did you even read what I wrote about this? It will not be easy to resolve if you can't follow simple directions:

You need to check Important and Optional Windows Updates now after enabling Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware to see what driver WIn7 wants for the device which is apparently your only Display adapter.

If Windows Updates don't deliver it after a day, go to the Support Downloads webpage for your model PC to import the latest Nvidia display driver.

Do we now have enough verification that it's the Nvidia that if OP's problem persists we can safely advise to disable the Intel Display driver in Device Manager? Would it be better disabled elsewhere if it is interfering, even in BIOS?

After uninstalling Intel driver, in Windows update there was a update of Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000.
I updated VGA driver to above HD adapter.
Boot time was same 5-6 min

So I uninstalled NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX adapter but it got installed again automatically after reboot.

Today my boot time was 10 min

So now which adapter should I disable???

Disable the Intel, don't just uninstall it disable it, that will prevent your computer from installing the drivers.

Thanks I will disable Intel driver & will check if my boot time improves or not.

I disabled Intel adapter but it diminished my screen resolution from 1366 to 1260 and apps, screen got distorted and the boot time was same.

So I again enabled it and disbaled the NVIDIA adapter but the boot time is same 6-7 min.

Can you please let me know any other solution for this drivers interfering.

Thanks

Try the latest Nvidia driver to see what screen resolutions are available after disabling the Intel adapter.

If that doesn't help the try the same with the Intel.
