flickering screen

[Guest]

My screen is flickering and the colour lightens when this is happening

Sounds like a bad VGA connection and/or the monitor is failing.

Have a look at the lead connecting your pc to your monitor.
Are the plugs securely in their sockets?

To the OP, what type, laptop top LCD, CRT or flat panel LCD?

If an LCD, it may just be the light tube is going bad and
needs to be replaced.

I had that happen to me about 3 years ago. A stupid spacer nut was
not tightened down, but the main screw was tight as could be. Drove
me insane.

The screws to hold down the VGA cable should be snugged but *never* tightened. They are
there to restrain the VGA cable from falling off or loosening but if overtightened they can
break. I have serviced numerous monitors where the user created this malady.
