Alienware 17 screen flicker. Help!

My screen is constantly flickering, it's barely noticeable but very annoying when you do notice it


Here's a picture of it -

The black lines are just drawn in Paint because I noticed vertical lines emphasize the problem more.

What is causing this and how do I fix it? Spent a lot of money on my Alienware and only had it 6 months so a bit disappointed, graphics card is a GTX 880M if it helps

Try to connect an external monitor if you see the lines in the external monitor then uninstall the video card driver and install the latest version you find in the Dell support website.

If you don’t see the lines in the external monitor then there could be a problem with the system LCD.

Let me know the outcome.
