Hey,

I have had a Dell Inspiron 1545 for about one and a half years and I had to restore it to its factory settings last night for some unknown cause. Anyways, the computer runs perfect again, but periodically when I browse new websites and the site is loading, although quickly, the task bar on the bottom flashes from a light gray back to normal. Once the page is loaded within about 2 seconds, it doesn't flash. Sometimes it doesn't even flash at all.

What is this problem and how can I fix it?

Go to event viewer and look for errors from the administrative level.

Go to device manger and make sure graphics driver is up to date and no yellow warning markers nearby.
