    When windows boots to the desktop screen just before the desktop opens up it flickers for about 1 second flashing. Then it's fine.
    I installed a SSD 5 days ago, it's been fine until yesterday if I recall correctly. Don't know where it came from. What do you guys think? Everything

    Figured it out sheesh.
    It was F.Lux on startup disabled it starting up and bingo no problem. I disabled it because I was not sure if the flickering was healthy for the monitor.
