Problem with laptop - possibly graphics

So as of about 20 minutes ago, my laptop has developed a strange problem. Every so often the screen will flash, or parts of the screen will go corrupt.

I assume this is a problem with the graphics chip in my laptop (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M), but then again, I could be wrong.

Anybody have any idea?

 

 

Laptop: HP Pavilion 15 'Gaming' - Intel Core i7 6700HQ - 16GB RAM - 480GB SSD - NVIDIA GeForce 950M 4GB - Half Decent 15.6" 1920x1080 Display

 

Desktop: Currently non existent

 

 

Phones: Bush Windows Phone (Yes, that's Argos' own brand) - Samsung Galaxy S4 (Currently just an alarm clock) - 2 x Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 Silver

My guess is that your display driver is crashing. Try updating/reinstalling it. Cleaning is not a bad idea either.

Literally as the notification for your reply popped up, I got a notification from Nvidia saying there is a driver update.

All seems a bit too convenient to me, I wonder what terms they've changed this time.

As said before just update your drivers.
