I've experienced the same issue about three times since installing Windows 10 a couple of days ago. This is on a Dell Vostro 3750 with same Geforce 525m GPU.

On all occasions, when choosing to restart the laptop, windows begins installing updates.

Hello Derek, 

We apologies for the inconvenience caused to you.

Screen flickering in Windows 10 is usually caused by incompatible apps or display drivers. To determine whether an app or driver is causing the problem, check to see if Task Manager flickers. Then, based on that information, you'll need to either uninstall the app or update the display driver.

Hi,

Thanks for the update on the issue.

If the issue persists, it will be prudent for us to review event logs on your system for this issue and proceed with the troubleshooting in targeted direction.

Event logs are special files that record significant events on your computer, such as when a user logs on to the computer or when a program encounters an error. Whenever these types of events occur, Windows records the event in an event log that you can read by using Event Viewer. Advanced users might find the details in event logs helpful when troubleshooting problems with Windows and other programs. To open Event Viewer:

1. Right Click the Start Button and select Control Panel from the list.

2. At the top right corner, change the view type to large icons or small icons. In Control Panel Click Administrative Tools.

3. In Administrative Tools click Computer Management.

4. In Computer Management click Event Viewer.

5. In Event Viewer, filter the logs and select Copy the logs and post here with the reply.

It will help us find out what is causing the issue.

Were you able to resolve this issue?

I'm having the same problem (Dell Inspiron 14R N4110, Intel HD Graphics 3000).

I have tried updating the display driver, but the problem continues.

Suggestions?
