I log on to my pc and now its working except the trembling screen now and then.
Let's focus on the flickering since the other issue may recur.
Well it was always there since i installed zorin os
Is this a notebook? (I refuse to use the term laptop as it engenders improper use). If so the screen inverter may be failing and you did say it was old. My good lady's machine, a desktop flickers on Apps opening, mainly SoftMaker Office, and it is from 2006 running MX-Linux, 2Gb RAM and 256 Mb 8x AGP graphics. If you know the specs of your machine that might help.
Its not a notebook it has 3.4gb ram, intel 945G graphics. I noticed thats the the screen flickers a little whenever i click on the screen or open any application. For some time i was using only 1 ram in my computer. i wasn't having this problem then.
See if this helps:
iommu=igfx_off
" 1. Open a terminal application
2. copy sudo nano /etc/default/grub in the terminal
- press
Ctrl + Shift + vto paste - Find the line starting with
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULTand appendintel_iommu=igfx_offto its end GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_iommu=igfx_off"- press
ctrl + x, theny, followed byenterto save and exit - run
sudo update-grubin the terminal - reboot
You can confirm your modifications after the reboot by running cat /proc/cmdline and looking for the parts you added.
Hope that helps and feel free to reply with any more questions you have."

It did not work.
How old is the screen? Have you tried a different monitor cable?
Its not that old. It works fine when i lower the screen resolution
Are you using Fractional Scaling?
No, i just changed the resolution to 1680x1050
In terms of system shut down, this might help you find the cause:
Ok its happening again my pc reboots as soon as open any application except terminal
Can you post the contents of the logs?
I do not see anything in those logs that relate to your issue. If anyone else does, please speak up.
You are using Intel Graphics, right?
Can you please relay the output of
sudo lshw -C video
Are you using a 4k monitor?
Also, are you logging in on Wayland?
Do you have the Night Light extension enabled? Or the wallpaper changer?
