Prajwol Subedi, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Regarding the scope of this report:
>"I found that AMD Graphics and the intel graphics that came along with the dell laptop can't get successfully installed."

Could you please clarify this? As per your lspci, both have drivers successfully installed:

** Description changed:

- I am running ubuntu 14.04 and I am a newbie, I am learning linux but as
- I am very much concerned with all hardware of the pc to be successfully
- installed. But in ubuntu I found that AMD Graphics and the intel
- graphics that came along with the dell laptop can't get successfully
- installed.
- 
-  And I do have some glitches while scrolling on the page and when
- watching movies as well there is little lag in quality!
- 
- Thank you!
