Take the monitor to another PC, hook it up, play around with it, and see if it occurs. Also, you could boot up in Safe Mode, which uses the software VGA drivers. I also think you should post this message to the usenet group sci.electronics.repair. You see messages like yours there all the time and the folks there can give you _very_ specific advice.
