Macbook Pro A1708 Screen blinks but stable in safe mode

Hi all,

I recently updated to Monterey on my mac but after a few days my screen has begun to blink. It does not blink in safe and recovery modes. The screen is also stable while I am playing any thing of youtube and quicktime player.

Please help.
