Random power off and screen blinking

Question

I've had my droid for almost a year now and am very happy with it, but recently i've been having a few issues. Today it turned itself off in the middle of a phone call, my fingers were not near any button to cause this, and when I turned it back on I had half a battery. And about a week ago the screen wouldn't even load and stay black causing me to do a restart on it twice. Then the screen starts to rappidly blink and doesn't stop until I've tapped it like 5 times. I've uninstalled old apps i don't use to hopefully take some load off the phone but even at it barest it still messed up.

Answer 1

This may not help, but it won't hurt to try (it shouldn't erase any of your data) ... try a system cache clear:
Power down phone
Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously
Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
Press volume up/down simultaneously
Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select
