If your screen flickers, blurs, or randomly goes black:

Step 1: Press Windows + I to open Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates

- Right-click Start, choose Device Manager
- Expand Display adapters
- Right-click your graphics card and choose Update driver

Step 4: Still not working? Go to your graphics card manufacturer’s site (like NVIDIA, Intel, or AMD) and install the latest drivers manually.

💡 Bonus Tip: Using multiple monitors? Make sure all cables (like HDMI or DisplayPort) are fully plugged in and not loose.
