If your GP32 randomly resets, flickers or goes white in places, it's probably your battery. FLU users get the advantage of seeing their front light go out first, others cry in fear until they realise their batteries have run out...
If you are overclocking, read below.
If you're still having troubleshooting problems, try the test mode. At the official ROM menu (PC-LINK/MP3/GAME) press L,R,R,L,R,R,L,L and you can test various things, using Start+Select to skip through each test. Ask around on these forums as well.
Remember - although the flickering can be frightening, it is simply because the GP32 does not turn off when the battery gets critically low.
The only other cause for flickering is overclocking. Usually GP32s overclocked beyond their 'stable' limit begin to flicker and eventually reset themselves minutes into gameplay. Even if your GP32 runs indefinitely, if it flickers when connected to mains or with full batteries it is generally a bad idea to keep using it at that speed. For one thing, you might damage it, and for the other, flickering makes it annoying to use
So lower the speed.
