Hi, when installing kali or running it live the screen on my Laptop (Acer Aspire V3-772g) freaks out and starts flickering/turning on and off randomly. If i connect my external monitor however everything works like a charm, but only on the external, the internal still freaks out. I installed Ubuntu and Debian and both worked.

//other specs/infos
- Kali version: 2016.2
- Processor: Intel i7-4702MQ
- Graphics: Intel HD4600 and NVIDIA GTX 760m (Optimus)
- SecureBoot is off
- Bios is in EFI mode
- cant turn off the nvidia in the bios
- I used dd to create the bootable usb (2. time i used Win32DiskImager)
- Video of the screen flickering :

Any ideas how to fix this problem?

I'm having this same issue. It's probably due to an incompatibility with the latest NVIDIA drivers, or something like that. I hope they'll fix it soon.

Hi,
I solved it having ( VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 525M] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])) via that specific Debian way https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee,
my laptop is Dell inspiron.
