I just received my 3880-V, my first laptop, and the screen flickers once in a while, then goes black, then comes back. I read something about updating drivers, in another thread, but I don't know much about that sort of thing. Could the drivers be my problem? Thanks in advance.

Problem cured itself!

The problem has not cured itself. In fact, it has gotten worse.... I wish I could describe the problem....I can only say that the screen begins to flicker, then completely spazzes out. Anyone know what the problem could be?
