Why does my system dim and go grey sometimes?

[mark Pyles]

Hi Norman:

It does dim just a tad when I unplug it from the power supply, but I 
rarely do that unless I'm moving it to another location. The dimming I 
experience is when the computer is having a hard time processing 
something or a webpage or when I have too many things going at one time, 
then it will dim and go grey and I won't be able to do anything until it 
clears itself up. It's very perplexing. Thanks.
