Hi there, first off, ive alrdy installed the latest drivers, but my problem just wont stop.
If i run an fullscreen application, for an instance League of Legends. My screen starts flickering like hell if i minimize it, or exit the game, its like loads of small parts flying arround on the screen, almost like when ur gfx card overheats. But its not that since i can run any fullscreen application without a problem.
It's just really annoying since i need to restart my computer after each time ive played a game or stuff like that, cuzz i cant read whats on the screen or navigate

Is this the driver you used for your graphics (http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-64bit-296.17-preview-driver.html).

Supported Cards:
GeForce 500 series:
GTX 590, GTX 580, GTX 570, GTX 560 Ti, GTX 560,
GTX 550 Ti, GT 545, GT 530, GT 520, 510

It seems that people are having the most problems with graphics of any devices.
I hope this helps.

I used the "mobile" edition of that driver, the one supporting the gfx cards for laptops as i got 520M not 520

Your only recourse might be to report the problem to MS and hope it is resolved by the time the RC is released in late spring. I ddon't think Nvidia will release any further drivers prior to that time, although who knows. You could try reporting to them as well.

Perhaps there is something else in your installation. Have no way of telling. I suppose you could try a reinstall. It's just I have read of more problems with graphics than any other driver issues. I have no other ideas at this time, sorry.
