Problem With Screen Going Obnoxiously Bright

I have a Gateway NV79 17" screen that  goes obnoxiously bright ot like random times. If I go to re-calibrate colors in screen via control panels  it the problem every time but doesnt take long before problem re-emerges. It is so obnoxiously bright it is almost impossible to read a lot of the text. Is this a software (os) issue? becuase everytime i color calibrate it fixes the problem everytime but just doesnt stay long before seting it back to super bright again.
