Default Screen dim and flickering


Hi,

When I let the computer sit for awhile or I turn it off for the night,
when it comes back on, the screen stays dim for a bit, then starts to
slowly flicker and then it flashes quickly and then becomes bright and
normal. It stays bright and normal until the next time it puts itself to
sleep or I shut it down for any real length of time. Sometimes it stays
dim and/or flickers for a longer time period than others. Using the
computer seems to make it go faster, but when the flashing starts going
hard and fast, it hurts my eyes to look at it.

Thank you in advance for your time and any advice you might have for
me.

Melissa

Sounds like the monitor may be starting to go, as once it's warmed up all
appears fine.

I'm afraid that's it too. It took all morning for it to get back to
normal.

Thank you for trying to help. I was hoping that it was all somehow
connected to all the other issues, but it must be a coincidence.
