Display Issues: Aah! Toshiba Satellite L775D-S5104

Hello fellow Minty Penguins. So I have this laptop:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops ... 55D-S5104/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is pretty functional, even now. However, the problems im having, is that the graphics glitch up in corners of the screen upon a successful boot. Also when I go to play a game like Team Fortress 2 or Minecraft, it will ocasionally stop working mid-play and the screen will try to reconfigure, and it will blink black. Also there are times when I can't even boot successfully. For example, I'll select the mint cinnamon 64 boot selection option and there will be no white blinking dot or anything besides my screen flickering from on to an off mode at around 10 second intervals. The fail to boot usually follows the screen glitch that freezes my computer during Team Fortress 2 or a bad minecraft run, when I have to manually shut off my computer. Im able to use the operating system and everything works pretty functionally, besides when the pixels freeze up.
So I think I may have installed wrong, but I also think it may have to do with the AMD Radeon HD 6520G graphics onboard the laptop. I was browsing the forums earlier for a solution to my problem and found there were problems with other AMD Radeon graphics cards. My graphics card I don't believe was included but maybe it should be.
Any and all help would be appreciated . Thanks guys.
