Thanks for the comment D. I removed all video drivers in the problem went away. It turns out it was software after all. Adding the driver from the Lenovo site fixed it.

Recenlty my Lenovo T61p Thinkpad has developed a very bad screen issue. The Screen constantly flickers on and off. I can't tell if this is a hardware issue or a software issue. How can I tell?<br />
<br />
I have not done anything to the drivers. I have been using the stock Lenovo drivers for the NVidia Quadro FX 570m for months and then this happened. <br />
<br />
Please help!

My Lenovo T61p Thinkpad screen constantly flickers on and off. Is it a hardware problem or a driver issue?

System Utilities are a type of system software used to support the computer infrastructure, distinguishing it from application software which is aimed at directly performing tasks that benefit ordinary users. Commonly used utilities include password managers, disk managers, system monitors, data synchronization tools, security and antivirus software and editors.

System Utilities

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.
