Yes, you said you have a
  integrated HD Graphics 3000
which is an additional gfx hardware.

In some laptops the BIOS has a switch (it could be called "nvidia optimus").

The Intel card is less powerful (while still fast enough for non gfx critical
applications), but it could possibly solve your problems which appear to be
related to nouveau and the nvidia binary driver.

And you could gain some battery duration too, as nvidia will be turned off.
