Hi guys, I'll apologise in advance if this is being posted in the wrong forum, if it is, then by all means move it to the correct one.
My problem. I have a lenovo t570 thinkpad laptop with Ubuntu 22.04.4. My screen began to flicker recently ( a few weeks ago ), so after doing some googeling i discovered that I did not have the correct graphics driver. I have a Nvidia GeForce940MX graphics card. In software updates additional drivers, the recommended driver was Nvidia Server Driver metapackage from nvidia-driver-470-server (proprietary).
After installing the above mentioned and recommended driver, all seemed well however when i use telegram, the flickering makes itself present, and i think this would have been the fourth time now that the screen has gone completely blank which forces me to power off and reboot. When i use VLC media player and i need to skip during a video, the sound turns off temporarily and then returns. These things were not happening before I installed the recommended driver.
I don't know what to look for so what is the best way to investigate this problem in order to find a solution?
