    It seems to happen only when the laptop is used with screen closed (external screen) and when CPU usage is high. I have set the screen to "external monitor only".

    What happens: occasionally, screen switches briefly to the laptop screen and then back as if the lid is opened and then closed.

    My model is the 1810TZ. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? On some older models it was known as the "screen event spam" and was fixed with a BIOS update, but no such update is available for the Timeline...
