SYN, I'VE HAD QUITE SOME EXPERIENCE WITH MONITOR PROBLEMS. IS THIS AN OLDER MONITOR. IT SOUNDS TO ME THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR MONITOR. OR IS IT AN OLDER MOTHERBOARD. I HAVE AN ATI VIDEO CARD THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE PRETTY GOOD. BUT I'VE HEARD FROM A FEW PEOPLE THAT ATI AND AMD MOTHERBOARDS DON'T WORK WELLL TOGETHER. IT'S TRUE. I TRIED IT WITH TWO DIFFERENT AMD MOTHERBOARDS. SO MAYBE IF YOUR MONITOR IS NOT TOO OLD, THEN ITS POSSIBLE THAT THE MOTHERBOARD IS LACKING THE UMPHH TO SUPPORT SUCH A HEFTY CARD.

MAYBE ALSO, DO YOU HAVE A SUFFICIENT POWER SUPPLY. IT COULD BE THAT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH POWER CAUSE THAT KIND OF VIDEO CARD DRAWS A LOT OF POWER. THATS SOMETHING TO LOOK AT. I WOULD HAVE AT LEAST A 300 OR 350 WATT POWER SUPPLY. I HAVE A 300 WATT.

IF ALL YOUR COMPONENTS ARE PRETTY NEW, THEN I WOULD GO FOR THE BIG ONE AND COMPLETELY REDO YOUR COMPUTER. I MEAN A CLEAN INSTALL. A LOT OF TIMES THAT DOES MIRACLES FOR A SYSTEM.

SO THERE IT IS...

1. MONITOR'S TOO OLD
2. MONITOR IS NEW BUT GONE BAD (I HAD A MONITOR GO BAD AFTER 3 MONTHS- BLEW A TRANSFORMER)
3. INCOMPATIBILITY PROBLEM BETWEEN MOBO AND VIDEO CARD
4. MOTHERBOARD IS TOO OLD
5. NOT ENOUGH POWER
6. IT IS POSSESSED!

HOPE THIS HELPS.
