Surface Pro 4 Screen Shaking/Shuddering up and down while Idle

I think I may have had this issue before and it just solved itself. However, my Surface Pro 4's screen has recently began to shake/shudder up and down while it is idle. If I am watching a movie, typing, or even moving the cursor it is fine just not when it is idle. It happened after I needed to render quite a few videos consecutively with Adobe Premiere Pro.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is it a software/firmware issue, or hardware? I am worried that it is going to begin shaking while I am not idle and that will become increasingly frustrating while editing.

    SOLVED

    This is absolutely a hardware issue.  I took the surface into the Microsoft Store.  They took one look at it, noticed the screen flickered on boot up, and swapped it with an old one.  If you're under warranty its a swap out.  If you're not, it's expensive.

    IF YOUR SCREEN IS FLICKERING.  RESTART.  IF THE FLICKER CONTINUES DURING THE ENTIRE BOOT UP PROCESS, THIS IS 100% HARDWARE ISSUE AND YOU MUST TAKE IT IN.
