Okay,
So my mother got a laptop some months ago and its running Windows 7.
It worked fine for several of those months, but now every few minutes or just randomly her screen with flicker. It not the actual screen itself, but her icons will flash and flicker and some times seem like their being randomized. When she uses her FireFox and is surfing the interwebs the screen with flicker also and make it seem like its refreshing several times. Even when viewing photo's, the screen flickers and randomizes the pictures.
Some forums say that its a mouse issue, and others say to update the video card drivers. Their was even a post about changing the refresh rate of the screen to 60. All have failed.
Could anyone please shine some light as to what might be going on.
I can tell this isn't a hardware issue. I have taken remote control of her laptop from mine and I can see it on my end.
Thanks for any help!
