try swapping monitors,
try swapping video cards,

also try a different electrical outlet.
try moving the entire system to another room (environmental influences are the most common causes of monitor problems.)
those are a few steps to take. if you swap monitors and the problem follows the monitor then you know what the problem is.
If you still have it. send me an email at work and i'll see what i can dig up for you. if not i'll email you from work.

I have another PC, but it a P200
. amd it's only got a voodoo1 in it.. I have another moniter but the cord is messed up, and can't get a picture. SO..
I wish I that monitor worked, I would have done that check.. btw, the monitor isn't near any other magnetic field. but get this--at a refresh rate of 75, it's fine, but at 85 it's messed up. (and my card allows for 100) And it's always been set to 85. It just scared me, because if this moniter went out, I'm screwed. don't have any way to get another..
This happened once before, when I ran a BBS, I had a 14inch moniter (1992-3) and it went out, so I left my BBS up, and went to my friends house to log on to my board to check my board out. I had to do that for 3 weeks!!! until I had the cash to buy a new one!
funny stuff..
