Yoga 2 Pro screen keeps turning, going black, or resizing on it's own.

It just started doing crazy things. The screen flips upside down then back again. It goes black during some games and it resizes. The entire screen gets smaller so you can see the black around it, then it goes back to full screen. It's not the same as if you were to use the zoom on the computer. It literally looks like you were to zoom in and out quickly on a camera.
I checked to be sure the video card is up to date and working properly because I got an "access" error on a new game I installed.

Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help.
- First is to connect an external monitor and see if the same problem will persist using it.
- If the problem will persist on the external monitor that could only mean that the GPU is faulty.
- Next is to do a clean install of the graphics card driver.
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall the graphics card driver under Display Adapters.
- Once done, open Programs and Features then uninstall anything related to the graphics card. (Intel Graphics)
- Next is to download and install the latest driver.
- Here's the link:

- Reboot the laptop once the latest driver has been installed then observe if the same problem will persist or not.
- If all these will not work, do contact Lenovo for a repair if it's still under the factory warranty.

Thanks for the info Laptop Nerd. All the issues just stopped. I didn't do a thing except shut it off for the night. Maybe it needed a rest.
Anyway, I'm certainly going to keep your info as it's good for all my computers. Thanks again.
