I don't know...you should just debug the problem. Switch monitors and see if the problem still occurs. If so, it's not your monitor. After that switch video cards or maybe just video drivers. Narrow down where the problem is coming from and eventually you'll find the source.

Sounds like your computer is crashing somehow. Doubt it's your monitor. Could it be a heat or power issue? Try in Technical Support, you'll get more answers there.
