  1. Screen keeps blacking out


    Hello,


    The screen keeps blacking out on and off and sometimes doesn't even want to resume. I bought a new monitor and it does the same thing. Sometimes it works for a longer period and sometimes not at all. I tried all recommendations about monitor flickering. That doesn't work. Are there apps conflicting or maybe the McAfee protection that I've installed? The monitor doesn't just flicker. It goes on and off for various periods of time even as I'm typing this. I've installed all Windows updates. I have Microsoft 365 installed as well and Microsoft Edge as a browser. Google Chrome is also installed but Edge is the default. Thanks so much!

    :)
