Did you change your refresh rate to something odd, that maybe your monitor is not liking? Do you have the latest video card and monitor drivers? I see a lot of people say monitor drivers aren't needed, but I've had several issues over the years that have been fixed by using new/updated/proper monitor drivers.

using any type of background changing software like webshots??
