Hi!, nadeemanjum,

I do not know the details for a HP laptop, but there should be an option in the Bios to select or deactivate the second video card.

Press a Function key during boot-up, probably F2, F8 or F12, or even 'Del'.

Chao!, bogan.

Generally it would be best to pick one card and disable the other one from the BIOS, but you may be able to set them both.
