Not happy to say that it looks like it was a configuration change I made to try to fix the ubiquitous screen-tearing and frame synch problems that some applications have.

Other than the aforementioned hardware experimentation, you might also want to try downgrading the kernel. Older kernels are likely still installed on your machine so all you need is to get to the grub menu (which can be difficult) and choose an older kernel at boot time. See: https://askubuntu.co
