    Only working video is Intel HD Graphics, before worked disable from device manager, not anymore :/ This GPU has got short circuit or something is it even fixable?
    It is recognized by HWInfo like programs and i have thermal paste on. Setting discrete on BIOS results black screen so i have to take battery out...
    It's all in idle, so how can i get rid of this cancer?

    Your gpu is done. Quite soon the same fate follows CPU.
