X800 PRO W/ APPLE LCD 23" HELP!!! Scrambled Video

Please help me!

I have a Asus mb with PRP800SE with 3.4 ghz Intel, ATI x800 Pro 256mb AGP, with an Apple LCD 23" monitor.

For some reason I'll be in windows or even when the system starts up before windows comes up, and my video will become scrambled and unreadable. Sometimes it's slight and I can barely see windows, than sometimes it's much worse. It doesn't have all the time, but maybe every other day but it can happens multiple times a day. What should I do? I've flashed my bios with the latest firmware, as well as downloaded the latest ATI Catalyst Drivers.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks for your help.
 
Have you tried to swap monitors, perhaps used a CRT monitor?
I'm not positive, but there may be some incompatibility issues with Windows. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what is going on. That's never been an issue for me. Sorry I don't have better advice. Good luck, though!
 
You are using the DVI connection? Res and refreash rates are at the recommended settings?

And follow up on MisterChief's advice on using another monitor to rule out that your video card is faulty.
 
Good morning! Yes I'm using a DVI connection, I have my monitor set at 1920 x 1200 at 60hz 32-bit, resolution. In my control panel it recongnizes the Apple monitor as a "plug in and play monitor", so unfortunately I don't know of any driver for this LCD display.

I'll try the CRT thing and post another reply, appreciate everyones help so far though!
