Intel integrated graphics - Screen blinking sometimes

Distribution

Package version

Graphics hardware in use

Intel(R) UHD Graphics 610

Frequency

Only occasionally

Bug description

Sometimes the screen blinks (and when it blinks it may blink multiple sequential times in a row). It may blink regardless of what programs are open.

I've tried to solve it by mutating the grub settings as indicated in the forums (I've tried at least 2 different things I saw in the forum), and more recently, from what I've got answers in the Discord server. For example, as indicated by Keiaa from Discord, I've done this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='quiet splash intel_iommu=igfx_off'

After entering the command sudo xed /etc/default/grub.

Steps to reproduce

1. Just use Linux Mint.

Expected behavior

No screen blinking.

Additional information

GFX driver:

Also it seems like once it starts blinking, if I don't move the mouse, it keeps blinking forever until I move it.

Followed the AI stuff and combined other options in the forums and it doesn't seem to blink anymore.

1. Open the terminal and run sudo xed /etc/default/grub.
2. Find the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='quiet splash' and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='quiet splash intel_iommu=igfx_off i915.enable_dc=0 i915.enable_psr=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=2'.
3. Save file.
4. Run sudo update-grub in the terminal.
5. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
