As you are on Win 10, you should update the drivers of your Intel CPU, because many graphics bugs with Win 10 have been fixed since 7 months.

What's the model name of your Intel CPU?

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3317U CPU @ 1.70GHz 1.70 GHz

Yes, it's fine. I searched on the Intel website and it looks like you have already the latest drivers: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25188/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-15-33-

Does the issue disappear if you disable HWA? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-disable-hardware-acceleration
