Every couple of minutes my screen flashes and there is a tick sound. Since I am new to Mac I am sure that I checked some type of box during set up. can someone point me in the direction so that I can make it stop? I have searched through all the setting that I can think of / find but it still is happening.

The applications that I have active are iChat, MSN Messenger, mail & Outlook (whole other issue that I am trying to work out).

Any assistance is appreciated
 
Is the there a light near the webcam? If so, you're probably taking pictures. If not then bring it to an Apple Store. It could be a GPU problem or something.

Was an alert inside of Outlook, to let me know that it had checked for new mail but there were no new messages.

Thanks for the help Johnhw.
