    Check the bios and see if there is an option there for it.

    Also check to see if maybe a Samsung utility might be installed that is causing that.

    Go to the Intel Graphics settings (easiest way is usually to right-click on your desktop and hit "Graphics Properties") and check under the Power options. Some laptops do have a "feature" similar to AMD's "VariBright" that dynamically changes the display brightness.
