help.... blue screen

[daninwa]

Hi guys, just joined and already have picked up heaps of tips, cheers.
My problem started a few days ago. My monitor has decided to occassionally go a darker shade of blue. It flickers and sometimes lasts for up to 30 odd minutes (very annoying). Should I be looking at replacing my heavy old monitor with a nice new flat screen or could it be my graphics (video) card?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks

try a process of elimation, maybe use a different monitor for a while and see if the problem persists, if not then your monitor is you culprit. If yes then it may be your graphics card.

thanks apj101, why didn't I think of that.... that doesn't need answering.

Could be the cord that runs from your monitor to your video card has gone bad. I had that problem and was able to get that replaced.
