I am experiencing a flashing blue screen on my computer(not a BSOD) after the computer locks due to idling.

I am able to log back in after forcing a reboot.

Event Viewer yields the following:

usasma,

Thank you very much. I removed cisco vpn and that fixed the issue. I also uninstalled the other programs and used driver detective to update all drivers.
According to Cisco, only Cisco AnyConnect 3.1 is supported on Windows 8.

Again, thanks for the help.

I have finished the test. When it got to testing the hybernation/sleep modes, the flashing screen came back.
I have re-run the test excluding USB and the sleep mode and they passed.

Results are available here:

I ran the memory and hard drive test and no errors were found.
I found that if I switch users the issue doesn't occur.
I also had a crash occur today and have attached the minidump.

We can't provide a complete analysis unless you provide the requested info: http://windows8forums.com/windows-8-errors-bsods/11837-how-ask-help-bsod.html

Memory dump points at ser2at64.sys - a driver component of your Prolific Technology ATEN USB to Serial port driver. It may have some connection to an add-on adapter such as one for Firewire.
More discussion about this driver here: Random bsod Solved - Windows 7 Support Forums

Please update these older drivers. Links are included to assist in looking up the source of the drivers. If unable to find an update, please remove (un-install) the program responsible for that driver. DO NOT manually delete/rename the driver as it may make the system unbootable! :

ser2at64.sys - this driver hasn't been added to the DRT as of this run. Please search Google/Bing for the driver if additional information is needed.
