I have an old 1991 monitor downstairs (from some dead company). In 95, the monitor started exhibiting wierd habits. For instance if you turn on the monitor (after it's been shut off for a while), the screen will shake endlessly for about 5 minutes. Once it nears the 5 minute mark, the shaking will slowly die down and eventually comes to a halt.

Then in 96 or 97, some of the color rayguns inside the monitor died. That left my monitor showing everything in the color shade of purple. I still have the monitor plugged into my old AMD K5 200mhz rig (it still displays images fine, it just shakes alot and shows everything in purple.)

Maybe it's cold? did you try putting a blanket on it?😉

Try setting the refresh rate higher and see if it helps. Shakes and flickering are caused by eletromagnetic interferences most often than not usually a fridge compressor or motor or something plugged into the same outlet.

It could also be your speakers if they're unshielded and you have placed them near your monitor.

a running desk fan anywhere near the monitor will definetly get it to do that. 😉

edit* spelling 😱

Or its caused by your girl's vibrato....nm

Actually It's probably your monitor going bad. I've had 2 do that one after less than a year.

Yup! It's annoying during the summer...

the ballast from flourescent lights can also do that...make sure you're not on 60hz also

i bet that's the problem.....my friend's monitor did that, but surprisingly it happened only when the fridge kicked on....also, one of my monitors does that, but only when the mixer is being used. my friend found that by buying a UPS, and hooking his computer and monitor into it, the shaking went away
