Screen Flickering On Minecraft 1.8.4

While playing Minecraft the screen will just flicker white/ with black lines, not the blocks or the items in the world, the screen its self. I don't know what the issue is, I have friends who play the game on lower specs than me and theirs runs smoothly. I can't seem to find a way to resolve this issue, can someone help me please. The laptop works perfectly fine with everything else, its just with Minecraft that this issue seems to occur.
