Worked for me: I disabled the self-refresh option in the intel command center (see
this post), the steps are:
"Search for Intel Graphics Control Panel/Command Center When it opens click the Power icon (or System then Power in Command Center) Under change settings for the plan, change Panel Self Refresh to Disabled "
It solved the issue for me.
I manage to take a picture of what my screen was doing:
random flickering on brand new DELL XPS 9310
I had another issue however after that, where my screen turns off randomly while I was working, unitl I move the mouse or stroke a key. I solved it by unistalling my graphic card driver in the peripherals and restart the computer.
Thanks @YassineS , I am working with the dell care team right now. My screen behaves slightly differently, more like pixelation for a few seconds and then back to normal. Let's see what they suggest!
Currently I'm testing Yassine's solution. I did all those setting and waiting to see if it works. I need to observe it for some days to be able to say if it works or not.
I'm in touch with Dell as well. They told me that on system with the problems, changing the display didn't solve the issue.
I have EXACTLY the same issues. Random Flickering + Screen which goes black without any reasons.
It's my second (new) Dell XPS 13 9310. I bought one in october. It has started to have these problems after all the update. I made all the support process with Dell and they agree to change my laptop with a new. I received it at the beginning of december, and, after all the update, all the problems comes back again...
So I think this is an issue between Dell screen and Intel software because it's still here even if you change the machine..
Honestly DELL, it's a shame to sell such an expensive flasgship laptop, and it is such poor quality.
After doing the settings suggested by @YassineS , my screen is now going black randomly with the same frequency (3-5 times in a couple of hours of usage), although I don't see that random-pixel-screen anymore when this happens. The screen stays black up to 30 sec or more.
See my video on it on Youtube (I started to film after the screen turned black, indeed):
Hi
@AttilaZ, I have the same problem. It started as the purple lines/pixelated screen several weeks ago. That doesn't happen that often anymore, but I do have the issue with the screen turning black for anywhere from 2-20 seconds, then the computer works like normal again. I also have sometimes an issue where everything on the screen looks like its doubled and the fonts look very fuzzy. I have updated all drivers, bios,...but nothing has helped. The only temporary fix I have found is that pressing CTRL+SHIFT+WINDOWS KEY+B seems to help (either when it's turned black or when I have other issues). This usually causes a beep and then everything is back to normal (I think it reset's your display driver)? But of course it's only a temporary solution and the black screen issue happens again sometime later. I usually have this happen at least half a dozen times a day... If anyone finds a permanent solution, please let us know.
Hey @Alb0, where are you from? Your Dell representatives seems to be generous. I also have an open ticket with them and I only receive . Try this, try that, like I'm a technician working for Dell and get paid to spend time troubleshooting their issues...crazy...
Yes, I already told Dell Support that a fresh Windows install will not solve the problem. Once you update the system to the latest version (both Win and drivers) you will end up with the same problems ... this was reported by many users already.
Please report back how it goes with your new system. If new hardware solves the issue than at least we know something.

Same issue XPS 13 9310. Has anyone had an official response from Dell on this one?
Am going to try disabling Panel Self Refresh and see if that has any impact.

I'm really getting tired of this sh**t, I paid a lot of money and this is what Dell gave me.
Best regards,

Having the same issue with XPS 13 9310 (Windows home). Opened a ticket with Dell support - they are going to send a replacement laptop.
