Help...

I turned on my iMac G5 (rev 2) today, and the entire desktop screen starting blinking on and off... Is this an issue?

I re-booted, did a disk check, and now it is fine... Is this something more serious?

Thanks in advance -

do you mean the whole screen or just parts of it?

The entire screen... Not lines, or parts, etc...

The entire screen turns off and then on (with my desktop running)

Ideas? Serious?
