Hi everyone - a strange thing is happening, at some point after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from preinstalled Windows 8, the screen on my ASUS Zenbook UX32VD started to blink on startup but would stop blinking when the greeting page appeared. I then upgraded to Windows 10, and it would blink all the time. I immediately downgraded to Windows 8.1, and the blinking (as before) continued only on startup. Then, after a crash, blinking would continue after the start-up, at all times, and a refresh to Windows 8 did not solve the problem. However, I realised that the blinking would stop after the laptop was in a sleep mode - until the next restart. I then upgraded again to Windows 10 and it is the same - blinking until you put it to sleep, and fine immediately on wake up. I did not find any posts describing a similar problem. Tried updating video drivers (there is no Nvidia in Windows 10 anymore anyway), that did not change anything. I would be grateful for any suggestions, although it is not a matter of life and death now that I found at least a temporary solution. Thank you very much!

Hi,
Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try that may help in resolving the issue.
- First connect an external monitor into your laptop and see if the same problem will persist on it because if it does that means it's the graphics card that is faulty but if it's not happening on the external monitor that means it's the built in display.
- Next is to do a clean install of the graphics card driver.
Go to Device Manager and uninstall NVIDIA graphics.
- Open Program and Features then uninstall anything related to NVIDIA graphics.
- Download and install the latest driver there is.
- Here's the link: nvidia.com/download/index.aspx.
- Reboot the laptop once installed then after the restart make sure to set your games to run using NVIDIA processor.
- If all these will not work I would contact the manufacturer for a repair if it's still under the factory warranty because it may be a case of a faulty CPU.
