The integrated graphic card and the dedicated graphic card work together. If the integrated card is not enabled than the dedicated will also not work. That means that the integrated card is automatically enabled although there is a option to disable dedicated cards. And what do you mean by graphic card is dying?

Although i am don't know that much about laptops but there should a option in the BIOS from where you can disable dedicated graphic card.
