Recently I've started to encounter an error when booting my computer, occasionally it would boot to a weird flashing white and black screen. An example of this can be seen here:

This occurs just before the login screen.
While this happens, my cursor is still visible, though larger than normal.
After a while, the flashing stops and the screen stays black, usually before this I would force restart my PC then it would boot fine.

Any help would be appreciated.
