Inspiron N5110 problems with Intel HD Graphics drivers
I have fresh Windows 7 64bit installation on my laptop with Intel i7 2630QM (Intel HD Graphics 3000) and nVidia GeForce 525M. First I had the following HD Graphics driver Intel HD Graphics 3000, v.15.21.13.64.2342 , A02 and GeForce driver nVidia GeForce GT 525M v.8.17.12.6683, A01.
When I tested system performance with 3DMark Vantage it said that system performance is too low considering the specs, this seemed strange because in nVidia Control Panel I specified to use the discrete graphics card. Then I updated to latest HD Graphics driver Intel HD Graphics 3000, v.8.15.10.2361, A03 and also installed 3DMark 11 for DirectX 11. When I ran 3DMark 11 I got BSOD and after the restart I tried 3DMark Vantage and also got BSOD.
Then I tried many things... system restore and uninstalling and reinstalling Intel HD Graphics drivers but I had this problem even with previous A02 HD Graphics drivers.
Here's the minidump and full memory dump of the crash when A02 HD Graphics driver was used:
Then I decided to remove both the Intel and nVidia drivers. When I restarted Windows automatically installed HD Graphics drivers (didn't check the version) which I didn't want since those are not provided by Dell. I disabled automatic driver installation and restarted again.
And now I cannot install any of the above mentioned versions of HD Graphics drivers at all !! Here's what I get:
Can anybody help to solve these annoyances?

3DMARK software does horrible things to the registry.
If you want to make a system unstable you install 3dmark software and try to benchmark.
Reinstall from the Restore factory partition is your only option.
If its not broken you should not try to fix it.

What and why exactly it does? Can you point me to some reading material online?

Watchdog game won't run because...the graphics hardware/driver isn't compatible with DirectX 11......
