Minecraft [any version] – Flashing/Graphical Glitches

graphics cardminecraft-java-editiontechnical-issues

I recently reset my PC, and have noticed that since I have done so, Minecraft has been acting strangely. Whenever I play, the entire game window [GUI and all] flashes white for an instant. Or, the GUI will act up. It can be seen in this video. My specs are as follows.

Windows 8.1 Update 1

Intel i5-4200u processor

Embedded Intel HD Graphics 4400

8GB DDR3 RAM, ~7.88 usable

Java version 7 Update 67 [32- and 64-bit are both installed]

Also, Minecraft is currently set to use no more than 4GB of RAM.

Has anyone else had this problem, or have a solution? I really want to play but I fear something might irreversibly mess up or something.

So, after a long hiatus, I finally decided to update my graphics drivers. This worked, and I can now play Minecraft like normal again.
