Is this a video card problem or a monitor problem?

Hi-

I recently purchased an HD5870 graphics card (thanks for the advice, great card) which I was using with my BenQ monitor for a couple of days, and all appeared well.

I then replaced the old monitor with a new 30" Dell monitor.

I noticed today that when I was rapidly moving open Internet Explorer and Firefox windows around on the screen, that the vertical left and right edges of the windows would be kind of "screwed up" for lack of a better term. Some of the graphics would become pixelated with "blocky" squares of color, enough where some of the browser would become unreadable. Closing the browser and opening it again fixed the problem, but I've never had that problem before when moving windows around rapidly on the screen.

Where should I start with this as I have a "new" monitor and a "new" HD5870. Is this a graphics card problem or a monitor problem? How do I fix it?

Thanks!
