Recently, I was using my computer for various things, not really doing one thing or another specifically, and all of the sudden, the taskbar and all of my desktop icons disappeared, leaving my desktop background alone, and then everything came back. It was like if my computer had been sleeping, and I woke it up and first saw just a blank background, then everything flicked back into place.

Now, what's bothersome is when this happened, it happened over and over, about ever 30 seconds, until I turned my computer off.

It doesn't close any of the programs I have running, it just makes everything disappear briefly, then puts it back, but I'd like to know what's going on.

I opened my task manager today and spent a good long while searching up all of the names of the running processes, to see what the general opinion of them is, and closed the ones that people didn't seem to trust. Right now, my computer's running well, but this flickering problem happened as recently as last night, and anything messing with my computer bothers me.

Anyone have any ideas?

The flashing hasn't happened again since I mentioned it here, at least not so far.

I ran HijackThis and attached the log.
