Please help with monitor problem

[runzwithsizorz]

Not sure if it's the monitor. New PC with G force 2 video card, 512 ram, 350 watts. 2 problems, may be related. Monitor 1 is 3 years old and while on line it would "fade to black". To get it back, I had to turn it off, then on. Finally it "faded to black" and died. Monitor 2 Seems all right EXCEPT while playing CD games. Now whenever there is a screen change in the game, the monitor automatically turns off, then back on again, There is a loud clicking noise when this happens. Both monitors are CRT and good brand names. I am planning on getting a new monitor, but won't do it now until I find out what's going on. Any help would be much appreciated.

Here's what I'd do:

1.) Try hooking up the monitors in other computers to see if it's surely the monitor's problem.
2.) Check the video card if it's fully set into the slot;
3.) Put the video card into another slot;
4.) Replace video card if all fails (this might be the problem)

What OS are you using?

the clicking you hear is when there is a resolution change in the game, no problem, some monitors make that noise some don't.
