[Solved by going to X11]

I am working with my Debian 12 system and suddenly the whole screen goes blank and comes right back. I am not sure what triggers it, it seems to happen when I am exiting a program, I think when It comes back any program I had running is gone now. This is very intermittent and does not happen very often.

Here as a start have a neofetch:

OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) x86_64

Host: VivoBook_ASUSLaptop S5402ZA_S5402ZA 1.0

Kernel: 6.1.0-11-amd64

Uptime: 12 hours, 2 mins

Packages: 2361 (dpkg)

Shell: bash 5.2.15

Resolution: 2880x1800

DE: Plasma 5.27.5

WM: kwin

WM Theme: plastik

Theme: [Plasma], Breeze [GTK2/3]

Icons: [Plasma], breeze-dark [GTK2/3]

Terminal: konsole

Terminal Font: Hack 19

CPU: 12th Gen Intel i7-12700H (20) @ 4.600GHz

GPU: Intel Alder Lake-P Memory: 3406MiB / 11577MiB

I did journalctl -b - there is a crazy amount of detail in there.

If there is anything specific I can do, please let me know - I am more than a noob, but a lot of the time I only know just enough to be dangerous.

Thanks!

    This can also happen if your GPU isn’t getting enough power. Try unplugging some components to test if the reduction in power draw helps or swapping your PSU out for one with a higher wattage.
