1. Check for software updates by going to Apple Menu > System Settings.
2. Boot into Safe Mode to check if the issue persists.
3. Check display settings to ensure resolution and refresh rate are set correctly.
4. Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) to resolve power management and display issues.
5. Run Apple Diagnostics to identify hardware problems.
6. Check for third-party software conflicts and uninstall suspicious apps.
7. Inspect for hardware issues, check for loose connections or consult a professional.
8. Reinstall macOS to rule out software issues.
