    Maybe video drivers causing this blinking. Update your drivers via laptopvideo2go.

    k-lite mega codec pack is good choice BTW.

    If the problem still continues just make a clean OS install.

    Adjust your screen fresh rate as more than 70.
    If this not works ,downgrade your nVidia driver and see if the problem will be there.
    Or you may have a conflict in drivers ,The sequence of installing dirvers is strict.
