No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

Also please fix your site hardware profile as per FAQ. Before your next reply.

HDMI on your device is hardwired to Nvidia GPU. You may try by installing web drivers and turning off patches that disable NVIDIA.

Not possible, but HDMI can be fixed.
 
If you enable Nvidia, system won't boot. Forget it, you can't disable Intel HD.
System doesn’t boot when web drivers are missing. Anyways, leave it. I don’t think you are getting what I suggested you to follow.

In short, if you can’t get Nvidia working, HDMI won’t work on this series (Inspiron 15 gaming) as it is connected to the DGPU stead of IGPU.
