Greetings!
I’m new to manjaro and recently installed it on my laptop. Lenovo legion y740.
I’m using a dual monitor setup, the laptop monitor and one external monitor connected via HDMI.
After I installed the nvidia driver my laptop monitor flickers during load, when playing or watching youtube video or just opening a program that makes the computer work harder. If I continue to have a high load the monitor will eventually turn off. But only the laptop monitor, my external one will keep working and I can continue playing(or doing whatever). You can turn the laptop monitor on/off in display settings and it will start again like normal.
I have disabled turbo boost and when restricting the cpu frequency the problem disappears or becomes less noticeable depending on how low you cap the frequency. At idle there is no flickering.
When I’m using the open source drivers the problem don’t exist. But the performance is so bad so I need to use the nvidia ones.
No problem in windows.
I have reinstalled Manjaro several times with no luck.
Don’t know how to continue from here. Provided inxi output but unsure what’s needed. If you need further information I will be happy to provide it.
All help is appreciated greatly.
This is my inxi
