Blinking black screen

[Woodmanrog]

My new computer blinks a black screen occasionally while I am working in any mode. I tried installing updates as suggested to no avail. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi @Woodmanrog

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the display issue. 

Try connecting the computer to an external monitor. 

Check in BIOS for the display flicker. To boot to BIOS -

1) Shutdown the computer. 
2) Turn the computer back on again and repeatedly tap on the ESC until a Startup menu appears. 
3) Press F10 once for BIOS. 

If there's no flicker in the BIOS, try re-installing the display driver - 

1) In the search box on the taskbar, type Device Manager, and then select Device Manager from the list of results.
2) In Device Manager, expand Display Adapter. 
3) Right-click on the Display Adapter, and then select Uninstall device > Delete the driver software for this device check box > Uninstall.
4) Restart the computer. 

Also, try updating the computer - 

Step 1 Windows Updates -

1) In the search box, type and open Windows Updates.

2) Check for updates.

3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer.

Step 2 HP Support Assistant Updates -

1) In the search box, type and open HP Support Assistant.

2) Check for updates.

3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer.
