You should disable the AMD card from your firmware (BIOS) menu options.

I have no idea how to configure an AMD/Intel hybrid graphics set up, sorry.

You have an Intel HD3000 -- you can try these module options to reduce the power consumption of this device:
Code:
# /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf
options i915 i915_enable_rc6=7 i915_enable_fbc=1 lvds_downclock=1
You can also try opening up your laptop and cleaning out all the dust and giving the fan, vents & heatsink a thorough clean -- this will make a surprisingly large difference to the running temperatures of your device.

EDIT: You could try setting up the AMD card by following this guide:
https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo

Alternatively, try the non-free (fglrx) driver but this will not work under GNOME:
https://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary

I have no idea if just configuring the AMD card will get your hybrid set up working but you can try it...

If it were me, I'd install Linux Mint or Ubuntu on a laptop. Those distros are designed for desktop use, and they have most of the same packages available as Debian. I know Debian can be installed on just about anything, but it takes a lot more tinkering to get power management, display, etc. working on a laptop. At least Debian used to be like that. I haven't used Debian on a laptop in years. My laptop has Mint on it, and there was very little post install configuration needed. If you enjoy tinkering and want to learn, you'll get more of that from Debian on a laptop. If you just want to get your laptop up and running quickly, Mint is great.

Why do I get the feeling you are using the Intel driver?

"Kernel driver in use: i915"

I've never known Mint or Ubuntu to install the proprietary drivers on install -- have they changed the installer? If you need to install proprietary drivers then unless you are very lucky and Jockey works properly it's slightly easier to install them under Mint or Ubuntu but it's not necessarily trivial.
