Update=Resolved-Re-Flashing the BOIS appears to have fixed the problem.
I just received my brand new X17 today and after about 5 hours of use the laptop bluescreened and now the screen flashes off and on constantly.  the only way I've been able to get it to work is to plug in another display.  This is very irritating as I have spent a lot of money on this computer only for it to not be usable.
