I have HP Elitebook 8570W with AMD Firepro M4000 GPU. Whenever I install its drivers, screen blacks out. Sometimes a cursor appears but screen remains black.
I have disabled its driver for now and my vendor says graphics card is dead. How can I check?
Anything I can do to avoid replacement?

Well, what is happening when you install the drivers pretty much points to the card being bad. If you want to really check the card, install it in another laptop and see if issue follows the card. To avoid a replacement, use it disabled as you are doing now with just the onboard video.
