What do you think is the problem?

For the past week or so my screen has been acting funny, like it will readjust itself or twitch or fizzle like if I'm auto calibrating it with my monitor. I switched between two different video cards and the samething keeps happening so its not the video card. Could it be my HD going bad? or a flakey power supply? or perhaps my motherboard going bad?

try plugging the monitor directly into a wall socket. avoid plugging a monitor into a surge protector.

might help. solved my monitor problem.

how do you come up with these things?

HD? Mobo?

try what zooner suggested, if that doesn't solve your prob, try a diff/new monitor..

Because two nights ago my primary HD died on me right after my screen fizzled really hard, perhaps it was a coincidence.

I will try what you both suggest though, I hope it works, and thanks for your help.

any lightning strikes near your house lately, maybe it got a jolt of super powered electricity
