How to disable video card driver loading in linux mint?

Welcome all.
There is such a problem - on the Dell Vostro laptop, apparently, the video card burned out (artifacts on the monitor when booting under different systems). But, if you boot without a video card driver, everything works fine (Mint in compatibility or recovery mode).
I don’t know in detail why this happens, but the result is quite satisfactory :)
Please tell me how to disable the loading of the video driver in general so that you don’t have to boot into recovery mode every time. Nomodest doesn't help.

i3-6200U processor with integrated HDA-520 graphics.

if this is the only video card, then by "disabling" it completely, the screen will not display anything at all (processors without an integrated video card do this).
And in safe / recovery mode, the graphics are very simplified, but the graphics or even "pseudo", which somehow can work on a (partially) non-working video card.
So suffer or throw it away already.
Or an option with replacing the processor / motherboard from a donor, but it's not worth it, as for me. It will probably cost like half a new laptop.

You can try to force enable the Vesa driver. The graphical shell can be run not only on a discrete video card, but also rendered on the processor (it will work, but slowly). To do this, you need to edit Grub by writing in the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= "nomodeset xdriver=vesa"
