Greetings,
My Sony 17" monitor has acted just like that for almost two years with
no problems. My system is a P133 Compaq. I wouldn't worry too much about
it. I would suspect you'll get advice to get the latest video driver,
which is not a bad idea, but I wouldn't worry about the clicking. Oh, if
your monitor blows up please don't blame me.
Cheers,
Kelly Younger
