[UbuntuGnome] Screen flickering issue in Ubuntu 17.10

I've been using Ubuntu 17.10 for some time now, today suddenly my screen started flickering and I can see frame drops. Restarting my PC doesn't solve the problem. I have a HP Pavilion ab032tx, dual booted with Windows 10.The problem does not appear in when using Windows. Thanks in advance!
