I recently installed manjaro linux on an older computer with an nvidia graphics card. Until recently, the computer had no problems running, but in the past week, I have had extremely terrible problems. When I scrolled on (not only, but mostly on) firefox, black rectangles briefly flashed. When playing back video on VLC, it usually run fine, until I paused the video and attempted to resume, when the computer often completely frose up, or more recently lagging, where it would lag in a pattern, where it would register my inputs as normal, and then for a few seconds display the same frame and repeated. I am using KDE Plasma, and in one case the blur effects on the taskbar and other UI were glitching in and out of being applied.
I don't know how do diagnose this. This happened around the time I updated basically everything, including the kernel I was using. I suspect it has something to do with the graphics card or it's drivers, because things that don't involve rendering stuff on screen basically work flawlessly.
Thanks for any help.
