Sorry about the side conversation on partitioning.  Clearly your problem
is not the partitioning scheme.  As Felix found, the key information in
lspci output is the device id (8086:22b1) for your graphics controller
is not supported in the stable distribution of Debian.  It is, however,
supported in the Stretch distribution.  I am running Stretch currently,
and it is a good working distribution, with the vast majority of major
bugs already worked out of it.  You should be able to run Stretch
without problems.  I concur with Felix, install Stretch and enjoy :)
