Software causing my phone to flash on and off?

I have posted this on the Mighty4 thread as well, but since it may not be related to that specific ROM, I was hoping to get some help from others as well. Help is much appreciated! Thanks!!

I among many others really prefer MightyROM 4 over 6 as well. I'm just not a big fan of 6.5, so I've been on the newest version for quite some time. I've been having a few problems as of lately though. I first noticed it about 3-4 weeks ago when I installed SSMaPa and tried configuring a certain button. Well I don't think that went very well and a few days later my phone's screen was flashing on and off and I couldn't control anything. It wasn't the screen going out, it was all software making it do that. I have S2U2 installed so when the screen would flash on for a second, I was able to move the slider most of the way across the screen before it shut off and came back on. If I held my finger in the same spot, when the screen came back on in a second I could move it all the way over to unlock. Once unlocked, there was system pop-up that said something along the lines of "the phone is going to turn off. all data will be lost". Even if I selected Yes, the phone continued having the same problem. At one point, I was able to turn off TF3D because I assumed it was SSMaPa that messed up something with the manilla. I hard reset, but still got the same problem once it came back. It was then that I realized I was going to have to reflash the ROM because it wasn't going to be fixed from the hard reset, because it changed the system manilla that doesn't change when hard reset.

Well I reflashed it and everything seemed back to normal. Now about 4 weeks later, I'm getting the same problem. I have not installed any new software recently, so I don't understand what is going on. I am on the most recent version of MightyROM4, and I'm wondering if it is something with that which will happen over time or if it is something else causing this. As I'm typing this, I start to think that the first time I had this problem was about the 3-4 weeks after flashing to this new ROM as well. One other thing is that the phone powers on immediately upon inserting the battery when this problem is occurring, and it doesn't require you to power it on withe power button. Any one have any ideas or suggestions? I've listed some of the software that I can think of that is on my phone below:

* Google Maps
* hTorch
* Flexilis
* SmartPhoneTracker
* Resco Brain Games
* Bing
* MusicID
