twinkling of intermittent screen on laptop: using windows vista

Hello
I use Windows Vista on my laptop about 2 years back (HP dv5 series)
All of a sudden a week, the screen started to Flash intermittently... it almost goes running with all the white lines, for a second or two... and then stops himself. Sometimes it happens very frequently, like three times in an hour, and sometimes not even once in 3 hours.  Windows Update is on and all the drivers to date by themselves.
I tried restoring the system to a date before I started having the problem on my laptop. It worked fine for a day, and then the problem started again.
Can someone please suggest what to do? In addition, this flicker of the screen would lead any type of damage to the screen if not checked soon? My laptop is out of warranty and I'm not sure what to do.
Thank you
Nidhi

Hello

drivers are normally specific model

and HP provides the drivers for their products

so, you need to ask HP if you can swap the drivers around model to model

and Yes to keep an eye on what the drivers left 3rd update windows wants to install on you!

  • Favorites synchronization of laptop Dell which uses Windows Vista for my HP Envy that uses Windows 8.1

    Somehow when I installed my HP Envy, I was able to get the Favorites of my Dell laptop which uses Windows Vista in Favorites on my desire that has Windows 8.1. Now, they are not there and I don't know how to recover. Tried the system restore, but no luck.

    Hello:

    If you are referring to the favorite links to Internet Explorer, it's what I do...

    Get a USB and navigate to your Vista username account and copy the Favorites folder on the flash drive.

    Plug the USB on your new PC W8.1, go in your user name folder and copy the Favorites folder in this window and let it overwrite the existing Favorites folder, as you see here.

    After the Vista Favorites folder replaces the empty Favorites W8.1 folder, you should be all set when you open Internet Explorer on your new PC.

  • I have a black screen, but can use windows on the bottom bar.

    I have a HP desktop computer and you are using Windows Vista Home Premium.  The Office has been black for about a month now.  Again, I have the windows at the bottom bar and am able to navigate in all my programs through the start icon.  The computer seems to work very well - and analyses have not found something unusual.  That's happened?  How can I recover my office?  I can't start my computer Safe Mode (by pressing f8) and I find not "Accessories" in my list of programs, but I could find 'system restore', so I chose a point of restoration about 4 weeks ago, but he has failed.  Can you help me!
    Thank you!

    I thought that the files have completely disappeared.  shortcuts were definitely missing.  When I went to "my documents" on the start menu, I could not find personal files at all.  It is computer of my mother and my brother came the next day and was able to fix it.  He said that he has restored the computer using "System Restore" and used a date prior to that I took.  He was able to restore the computer and found all the files.  I guess they were just hidden.

    So I guess that the problem has been resolved!  Thank you for your answer!

    ONLY "there are moments"? Not always?

    There is a setting that will turn off the computer when the lid is closed.

    Check this setting...

    Start > in the search box, type power options > press enter > column on the left, click "Choose the closing cover" >

    to turn off the title screen and put the computer To Sleep section, you can set the time to 1 minute forever by clicking the pointer to the right.
