Very strange indeed - a friend of mine had a problem similar to this, you could either try degaussing your monitor, and if that doesnt work then you might need to get it repaired.

I might have the solution

Check the connection to your video card.
make sure BOTH sides are in all the way and/or your video card isn't damaged.

Sounds like the RGB data isn't getting transmitted properly

Making sure that a pin on your cable is not bent is the first thing I would check. Then hook it up to a pc that you know the vid card is working fine in, if you still have the problem then it will need to be fixed.

thanks for the responses.

checked the pins, checked the cable connections .. everything seems to be in place .. even checked with the other working system and the problem still exists.

could this mean my monitor was burnt out?
any other suggestions?

TIA

Short of giving it a good slap, I would suggest taking it to a monitor repair store or somewhere along those lines and having it looked at.
