  1. Sudden blinking screen and dysfunction


    It has happened quite recently that after I start my computer, using it for a few minutes, the screens suddenly blinks and the computer goes to black followed by the setup screen which doesn’t respond to any options. Then I had to force restart the PC… what could be the cause? Note thaT I first start the PC in the morning and it shouldn’t be an overheating issue? Thanks!

    :)

    • Restart the computer after its updated and verify.
    Also try to access the computer manufacturer's website and download the latest display drivers for your computer and install the same.

    If issue still persists, I suggest you to Uninstall and reinstall the Display driver and check if it works for you.

    Sudden blinking screen and dysfunction

    Blinking screen, not enough to be descriptive.

    Hi,

    1] Was in the process of deleting images from a 2003 word.doc. 2] All of a sudden the screen started blinking around the edges. 3] A small WIN icon appeared on the task bar alternating with the above blinking. 4] With each blink a small green image appeared for a micro second on the upper left of screen that looked like green image when copying a file??

    Reset the PC & rebooted, all seemed OK.

    I'm a little confused as PC seems to work ok now.

    Regards,

    klxdrt
