I am using Ubuntu 12.04 in my HP laptop (A8 processor), It is getting overheated when I use Ubuntu, but when I use Windows it stays cool. I want to switch off my graphics card in Ubuntu. This has to be applied when I shutdown or restart. Currently I'm getting an error saying that GNOME settings not responding and then it is taking long time to shutdown the system.
Tell me more

If you are using a(an) NVIDIA graphic card , you can use bumblebee to switch on/off your graphic card. See https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bbswitch https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee for more information. |

Check BIOS settings. There could be option to use integrated graphics, instead of graphic card, of-course only if you have on board graphics on motherboard. There could be graphical way or from within Ubuntu, but best thing would be to use BIOS settings. |
