MSI GS70 2QE Stealth Pro Screen Flicker Problem Ubuntu Linux
Flicker started happening on my MSI GS70 2QE Stealth Pro (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B010U6QHV4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00). It was purchased on 25th August 2015 and started going wrong on 24th November 2015. The screen is unusable and flickers badly when booting to Windows. When booting to the BIOS the screen is steady which suggests drivers however I also tried booting Ubuntu Linux and got the same problem so it feels like a hardware problem, probably down to the NVidia 970M GPU. This video shows the flicker problem under Unbuntu. Any ideas would be appreciated.
