Screen flashing

Post by Dinmiller »

Ok so I downloaded and install Nadia, and this is a farelly older computer with an intel board and nvidia 9800, everything is working find except every 10 seconds (ish) the screen will flash black for a split second and come back. I have tried browsing the forums and can't really find anything on this. I have Mint on several computers and now that you can watch Netflix and play most games on here now im trying to get away from windows all together. Please any help would be appreciated. Oh I have ran all updates.

Ahh thank you in the process now. I tried doing it from the package manager but wouldn't work, looks like this one is. Thank you very much
