That stopped my computer from starting up!

Any other possible solutions?

Upgrade to latest version of the intel graphics drivers, and dependencies:

It should be pretty simple. You run a graphical tool which takes care of updating everything.

After that, if you still can't use /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf,

just put the content of it into /etc/X11/xorg.conf
