What was found

ON THE WAY BACK TO CHINLE FROM PHOENIX, BOTH OF MY EFIS SCREENS BEGAN TO FLICKER. THEY WOULD FLICKER FOR ABOUT TWO SECONDS THEN CORRECT THEMSELVES. ABOUT THE FIFTH TIME IT DID THIS IT FLASHED DPU FAILURE ON BOTH SCREENS FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS THEN CORRECTED ITSELF. AFTER THAT IT WAS FINE FOR THE REST OF THE FLIGHT TO CHINLE THEN JUST BEFORE I STARTED THE RNAV APPROACH IT FLASHED DPU FAILURE AGAIN THEN CORRECTED. I ONLY SHOT ONE APPROACH INTO CHINLE AND THEN DIVERTED TO KFMN BECAUSE IT WAS VFR. I ALSO NOTIFIED CENTER I WAS HAVING DIFFICULTIES BUT NOT AN EMERGENCY AT THE TIME.
