If you look over http://forums.cnet.com/5208-7590_102-0.html?forumID=67&threadID=62739&messageID=744233 you discover an issue HP had with a monitor. No software will ever fix that one and you must lodge your complaint before the warranty is up or you may end up paying for repair or replacement.

Intermittent blinking or flashlight of screen (display) in any mode. Whether it be in an Office program or scrolling down a page in Firefox, the screen will flash on and off at different rates or go completely black. It will happen randomly as in after a few re-starts it seems to go away. In fact as I?m entering this post, it hasn?t flashes or blinked in two hours.
As for specs: I?ve updated the graphic card (ATI Radeon HD 2400 pro) with the latest updates and drivers. Fan is running and doesn?t seem to be a heat issue
I have a HP Pav a6150e, AMD 64X2 Dual Core 4K+ 2.1GHz, 2Gb ram, MS Vista, Home Premium 32-bit
I read about updating the drivers for the BIOS, though I do not know how to do this.
Any ideas on what is causing this?
