Slightly Darker And Top And Bottom Of Screen. Starts Up Then Shuts Off.

When I turn on my TV, the top and bottom of the screen is darker than the middle of the screen. The sound is fine and then the TV goes black, then comes back a few times, until it eventually shuts off and the lights at the bottom go back to Red.
