MacBook Pro screen blinks

My new MacBook Pro display screen is blinking or flickering every few minutes now. I've only noticed it when I've switched to the integrated 9400M graphics processor. I don't recall seeing any blinks when using the discrete 9600M GPU. Usually it is only the top half or so of the display that blinks or flickers for a split second. Anyone else having the same problem?

MacBook Pro (Late 2008), Mac OS X (10.5.5), tv, iPhone, iPod Touch, et al

Hi!

Flickering on my macbook pro retina depended on screen brightness. It's shown there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lurac4NBJSY

Hi I just contacted apple about this issue and they told me when my computer starts up to press command+option(alt)+P+R. So far its working for me.

Dude. If you have a rupture, and you're in the UK, you have bigger problems than a blinking screen.
