The model that I have is AN515-42.
There are times that the screen would flicker randomly(multiple times) and after the flickers there are some small dots that would appear on the screen then vanish after after some time. I wish you guys know the reason for this.

    Try doing the below step and check
    power drain: Just check the back of the unit, you can find a pin hole , unplug the charger and turn off the unit. now put a paper clip in the small pin hole and press and hold it for 30 sec.
    BIOS default: After power drain is done, power on the unit, but as soon as you power on the unit keep pressing the F2 key so that it take you to BIOS page. Press F9 and press Enter than press F10 and press Enter. the unit will restart

    Did it work?
    I have the same problem now with small blue dots appearing, buildings getting wierd colors, game flickering and some randomly game freezing, and besides that my CPU is around 94 degrees celsius.

    Our cases is a bit different since my CPU did not reach that high temperature and I did not encounter weird colors on the graphics. Although in my case, I did'nt exactly do anything and the number of times that the screen would flicker reduced over time. So I think my problem was on the driver back then or on windows. If ever we have the same case it could be because of he drivers. It is just my opinion though and I don't know much about computers. Sorry for the late reply and bad english :)
