Please go to your display setting and make sure you have the correct refresh rate set (normaly 60hz or more). The most common cause of screen flicker is low refresh rate

I have been using Xubuntu 14.04 alongside Windows XP. Today all of a sudden while surfing the Internet the screen started flickering. I restarted the computer, it ran successfully but the same issue came up. This time there where continuous beep sounds from the CPU. Please help.

  Please go to your display setting and make sure you have the correct refresh rate set (normaly 60hz or more). The most common cause of screen flicker is low refresh rate. Also do you have GPU drivers installed

  If you use intigrated gpu (eg intel), go to Settings->Window manager tweaks and turn off compositing and tell me if this fixes it
