Try updating the driver and see if that will resolve it.

tried that. works for sometime and later on starts flashing again. could it be a hardware issue ??

It is possible, but if the driver change makes it stop, I am wondering if something is removing or altering the driver. An update that is changing what driver is there, or something else. If it was hardware, I don't see the driver fixing it for a short while.

agreed ... i even changed the power settings ... like the sleep time ... i selected never go to sleep .. it looked like it would work ... but then just as i had expected started flashing again ..

I would scan the device for malware and viruses. Then try updating the driver again, and when/if it starts acting up again, see if the system has updated anything just prior to the problem restarting.
