    Hey guys, I have no idea why my laptop screen flickered? This happened few weeks ago and I;ve sent it to the Asus centre to check on it. They suspected is the RAM that is giving the problem. And now, after i got it changed, the same problem happen again. Anyone has any idea for this problem?
    Im currently using F8V series. Thanks and regard.

    It's most likely a driver issues. Trying updating it with a newer version from laptopvideo2go.com

    Either that or official ones from Nvidia.

    RAM shouldn't cause screen flicker, try test it in BIOS and adjust screen brightness to see if you still get flickering.
