HDX16T LCD Screen flashes then blacks out, quick to sleep and out brings it back...

I have an HP HDX16T-1200 CTO with the 1080 edgeless disply.  All of a sudden the screen has been doing weird things.  While it is working fine, it will start to flicker or flash a little.  Sometimes that just goes away, and sometimes the screen then blacks out.  To get the screen back, I have to close the lid (put the computer in sleep mode), then open it again.  Sometimes it is fixed for hours, or a day... and sometimes it is fixed for 3 minutes.  Please advise, thanks!

So are you saying the GPU is overheating? This is the card I am using: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6814150605 I have it hooked up to my motherboard on my desktop. Would this be related to something switching between the motherboard graphics and this card?
