    I read a list regarding alienware screens flashing in color prior to the Windows screen. I have a similar situation. I log into Windows and the windows screen starts slowly flashing then increases until it is flashing very fast. The flashing appears as black & white to me. I am able to go into safe mode bud didn't try making any changes at that time. Can anyone please help to diagnoses this problem and know of a solution? Thank you.

    Enter safe mode and try a system restore to a date before the issue started.
