White screen flashes every milliseconds on iMac - After sleep mode

When my iMac goes in sleep sometimes and I log on again and works normally, the screen flashes white and comes again many times after awhile. I updated the all applications and I still get this issue. This started happening from like 3 or weeks ago; every time I had to restart the computer. I face this issue usually while I am preparing emails or Instant Message on Outlook and Skype for Business.


This week is fine, but it may happen again.

iMac 27", macOS 10.14

Try an SMC reset and PRAM reset (hold the PRAM reset for a full minute so it activates several times).


Edit: Is it the backlight which is flickering or the video signal? Does the same thing occur on an external display?
