1. Check your monitor cable

A bent pin or loose connection can cause this. If the plug seems straight and is tightened properly to the case examine the cble itself to ensure it isn't crimped or pinched anywhere. You might try reseating your video card, and if it is an AGP type card making certain the gadget that clips it down on one end is engaged.

If none of the above works you likely have a monitor going bad internally. It's generally not worth it to fix them, but be sure by connecting the monitor to a known good computer. If the problem still exists it's in the monitor itself.
