Computer monitor keeps flashing

[Nut]

My monitor flashes from time to time. The screen doesn't go black or anything, i can still see the screen. Also when i play the game chuzzle, my monitor keeps flashing and pauses and un pauses the game every 3seconds?

My internet also keeps saying not responding, i looked at forums and purchased the Perfect Optimizer as that seemed to be the general response, but the problem is still there?

please can any one help me. I'm not very computer literate

Do you have a discrete graphics card? Remove it & try playing without it. If you're not confident of your ability to remove it, get hold of someone who can

I have a NVIDIA GeForce 7400. will ask my brother if he can remove it.

Oh, I didn't realise it was a laptop. That changes everything.

Well now don't do that. Taking apart a laptop definitely voids warranty & more often then not, results in a botched up job which leaves a dead system. The best thing would be to take the laptop to the appropriate service centre or from wherever you've purchased, & getting it repaired under warranty.

He won't be able to. The GPU is physically soldered on to the laptop's motherboard. If by chance the laptop is still under warranty, contact HP for servicing. From your description, it seems like either the GPU is overheating (grab a can of compressed air and remove any dust buildup from the laptop), or there is a problem with the GPU itself which may require a replacement system.

It sounds as though you may be experiencing a hardware issue -- the DV6000 series with the nVidia graphics chips were notorious for GPU failures.

The problem with your notebook is that you cannot replace the GPU as it is soldered to the board. Can you run a hardware test (3D Mark or Furmark) to test this theory?
