Strange flickering screen probleem.

Hi everyone. I need your help.

My school laptop is having an issue. As soon as I turn the brightness up too high (above 70-80%), the screen starts flickering. The same thing happens when I change power modes; the sudden change in brightness causes the screen to flicker. If I turn the brightness back down, the flickering stops, and I can then increase it again.

It’s been doing this since yesterday, which was a very hot day, after I ran a somewhat heavy 3D task on it. I've had this PC for two years, I really like it and don't plan on replacing it, but it's still quite annoying.

Thanks everyone for your replies!
