Your screen flickers on and off
Screen flickering is a video driver issue or a refresh rate problem. Update the display driver first, then adjust the refresh rate if the flickering continues.
Screen flickering happens when the video driver is outdated, the refresh rate is wrong for your monitor, or the display cable is loose. We'll update the driver, check the refresh rate, and test the cable.
