Update: I checked again in the Nvidia site and there was a driver update
shortly after I installed the most recent I could find there meaning that I
downloaded the newest drivers at about the first week of August and when I
checked after this last post I saw that Nvidia had posted new drivers on the
20th of August so I downloaded and installed those and the bug seems to be
gone, I have not noticed the screen flashing anymore when I activate the
selection markee and the problem happened happened fairly quickly after doing
that and the GPU has not reported that it has crashed and recovered again so I
think that it was definitely a driver problem, great! I can use my Gimp
again!!
