Red/Blue blinking onscreen Pi2

Just set up my Pi2 with openelec however there is a rectangle that occasionally blinks red/blue just under the clock in the top right corner? any ideas why?

Thanks

That winking square is the brownout detection, your power supply isn't good enough to run the Raspberry Pi and all the USB devices you've plugged into it.
