how do i make minecraft use my switchable graphics?

I recently bought a laptop from hp, and it has switchable graphics between intel hd graphics and a radeon hd 7690m graphics card. however it runs minecraft at about 20 fps because it is using the intel hd graphics. i have tried setting my graphics for fixed in my bios (so it is constantly using my good card) and it runs minecraft at about 200 fps for about 5 minutes then crashes. when this happens it says "driver has stopped responding, and has recovered". i have tried updating my bios and my graphics driver and they are up to date. i dont know what is happening, but i do know that it is happening to other people as well. is there anything that i can do to fix this?

I couldn't really think of anything besides using your other graphics and keeping a low render distance, and damn 200fps

Update your graphics drivers, then right click minecraft before you open it and chose the option to use your other graphics card.
