| | Re: Screen keeps flashing every 10 mins or so. Jini, I apologize on behalf of the other posters. Of course, your screen is your computer screen and you have a concern about it flashing or going black and then coming back on. Jini, I'm thinking two possible issues: the first is that you need to update your video drivers and the other is that the codex' for your movie player are causing your problem. Is your video card ATI or Nvidia and which player do you use to watch movies?

| | Re: Screen keeps flashing every 10 mins or so. If it is the same problem that I have. My display momentary blurs then returns to normal. It is more than likely a driver issue having to do with the way windows uses the gpu.
