Screen keeps flashing every 10 mins or so.

Hi,
I am using Windows Vista Home Premium. My screen keeps flashing up every few
minutes. it becomes more apparent while playing movies. the media keeps
playing though. i tried disabling my screensaver just in case that was
setting it off, but no luck..

any ideas what to do?? or why it might be happenning??

Cheers

What screen?

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?

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.
