screen is flashing

[acloix]

As soon as I turn on the laptop, the screen starts to flash
sometimes for 15 seconds, sometimes for 5 seconds, what could be the reason? I'm afraid to turn off my computer because sometimes it won't turn back on.

Hi @acloix 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

Your OMEN by HP 16-wd000 experiencing screen flashing at startup could be due to driver conflicts, display settings, or hardware issues. Here are some steps to troubleshoot:

Check for Display Driver Issues

• Boot into Safe Mode (Shift + Restart → Troubleshoot → Advanced Options → Startup Settings → Enable Safe Mode).
• Open Device Manager (Win + X → Device Manager).
• Expand Display Adapters, right-click your GPU, and select Update driver → Search automatically.

Disable Adaptive Brightness & Flicker Reduction

• Go to Settings → System → Display → Advanced Display Settings.
• Disable Adaptive Brightness and Flicker Reduction if available.

Test with an External Monitor

• Connect your laptop to an external display via HDMI.
• If the external screen works fine, the issue may be with your laptop display or internal connections.

Since your laptop sometimes won’t turn back on, it’s worth checking BIOS settings and power management options. 

Try these steps and let me know if you need further assistance! 🚀
