Default a/c light blinking! compressor shut off!

well, it seems like more and more often, my a/c led will start blinking at which time the compressor shuts off and i have no more cold air! sometime i'll turn off the a/c then back on and it will be back to normal, but for a couple days, it just wouldnt' work at all.
freon is full, i checked that a couple days ago.
any idea what the problem is?
92 LS...

Its very hard to diagnose over the Internet. Better get it checked ASAP. By turning it off and on again, its a temporary fix thats hurting it in the long run. It obviously shuts off because it detects a problem in the system.
