Windows 10: Windows not starting up properly and flickering screen

Hi, so recently I was watching netflix when all of a sudden my entire pc somewhat just went into sleep mode and wouldnt leave sleep mode so I shut it off. Upon restarting, it took an unusually long time to restart my pc and when it finally restarted, the entire screen was flickering and there were no desktop or taskbar icons. I tried a couple things which didnt end up working but eventually restarted my pc into safe mode with networking and rolled back my graphics driver. When I restarted my pc, it was back to normal other than the fact that it felt very choppy since it was running a default microsoft driver. I went to update my driver to the newest version to see if it would fix my problem but it instead went back to the flickering, unresponsive desktop. My graphics card is an AMD 6800XT and I would appreciate any help whatsoever. I can provide more info if needed, just really want to see this fixed. What do I do???

:)

 

Screen starts to flicker after logging in for a while

Hello

This is an entirely new issue. My screen starts to flicker after logging in/turning on computer for a while, and/or if I launch an app that uses my Nvidia card (my laptop has Optimus), I'm not exactly sure which of these two causes it. For the first while after a restart, the screen appears fine. The flickering appears on desktop background + internet browser as well, so I'm pretty sure it's not a program compatibility issue. The flickering is not severe (the type that looks like horizontal bars sliding up) but it's an annoyance.

Tried:

• Disabling Windows error reporting + problem reporting service in msconfig
• Restart computer
• Resetting Nvidia global settings to default in Nvidia control panel
• Checking for display drive updates in device manager (all up to date)
• Checking monitor refresh rate (60Hz, can't be changed)

Laptop I'm using:

• i7-4700MQ 2.4GHz
• 1900x1080
• Intel HD 4600 + Nvidia GT750M

Thanks for suggestions.
