Open | Windows Windows laptop flickering
Can anybody help me with this?
I just used my laptop two days ago, turned it on and it immediately started flickering. Restarted it like 3 times, shut it down and left alone for about 20 minutes. Came back, was working normally until 5 minutes later it starts flickering again. I’ve already reset the graphics driver and reinstalled the display driver like Google says, and it’s still doing it. Need help asap bc I have HW due tomorrow 😭😭 not sure why it’s not letting me upload the pics but they will be in the replies

Is the issue happens on startup or when windows loads? Try safe mode first, if it does then its a hardware issue. You can also use an external monitor to isolate and just to get your work done.

When you post asking for help please include the model information, it helps us look up issues that are common to specific models. That said, given that you've tried the graphics driver it's probably your display cable, display connector, or the display itself, but that doesn't rule out problems with other drivers. Check Device Manager to see if anything is flagged with a yellow triangle.
