Welcome to PCHF!

I would imagine that you have already updated your graphics card driver to the latest version but have you tried using older drivers to see if they help with the problem?

Go here: download from Guru3D.com

What particular laptop do you have? Some brands only allow drivers they approve to work. Toshiba is one of the worst offenders, with their drivers often being outdated by over a year.
