Weird screen flickering with Intel HD Graphics 5500

[Teresa e Junior]

I've been using Linux on different laptops for many years, and after I 
upgraded to 17.10, this is the first time I'm having problems with an 
Intel GPU.

Here is a 5.6 MB video showing the problem:

Every time this happens, I have to close the lid to suspend the laptop 
for a few seconds.

Anyone knows how to solve this?
