hmm. I'm not convinced the 'every 5 seconds' flicker is the same thing. I saw other bug reports around when I was trying to see if others had my issue (persistent flickering, almost subliminal with the brightness turned down a couple of notches), and the 'every 5/7 seconds' thing was something to do with detecting plugged in monitors - people were fixing it by disabling a service I think. try googling for 'flicker every 7 seconds'.
