What I meant was, is there an uninstall utility specifically for
Nvidia cards. I suppose it dosen't matter because there is a driver
cleaner available that will work on Nvidia and other cards.

I was wondering if the screen flashing could be a result of something
else I missed in the configuration of my machine.


Again, did you try uninstall or use DriverCleaner and see if this problem
remain?
To verify if it a hardware issue, you can try putting onto another PC and
see if have the same problem.


I tried all that and the problem is still occuring. It happens a lot
when I resize windows from minimized to max size.
