First off, welcome back to the forum! You took a sabbatical around the time I was joining the forum.
Your profile shows you using Linux Lite 3.2 and an ATI graphics card, which is AMD related. AMD didn't get their proprietary drivers in Ubuntu 16.04, which is what the Linux Lite 3.x series is based on. So I'm not sure what you mean when you write:
If you mean you selected the proprietary driver for your CPU because it was unselected at the time, I would keep that selection. Your graphics issue is more than likely related to the fact that your graphics card is AMD related. As a result, you're having to use the open source AMD drivers instead of the AMD proprietary drivers. I've had some success with the open source driver, but it is going to be a best effort driver and not perfect for everyone's setup.
