I have a 8800GT in my P5K-E mobo, im using a princeton monitor.
When i startup my computer, the loading screen usually is black, but recently after i turned off my computer, and turned it on again, the screen came up all weird. The background, instead of black, was blue, and the screen seemed to be flashing. When i let the computer boot to the desktop, the desktop seemed to be cut in half, the end of the desktop was in the middle of the display. Does anyone know what this means? Is this a hardware problem? Could it be my video card? I got the card January of this year, i got all my parts around that time.

It looks like the static from a television with flashing blue and green.

E6750
Corsair 650W PSU
EVGA 8800GT
ASUS P5K-E Mobo
 
Its LCD

The problem is weird, i had my computer on and the colors were fine 20 mins ago, but after i reset it, thats when it happened.

For some odd reason, the problem has went away. I reset the computer a few times when the problem occurred, but didnt meddle with any of the hardware. The colors on the screen are back to normal. Should i still get this checked?
 
i'm not exactly sure how it would be different with an lcd, but I've seen similar problems with a bad/loose cable on crts before.
