Check your cables first. If not that you're screwed. It may be tomorrow it may be next year, but it will get worse.

Good thing CRT's are cheap as dirt nowadays. Check craigslist.org to see if anyone's selling any in your area, I see CRTs for sale every day around both places where I live. Heck, there's a guy a couple towns away from me selling the widescreen CRT FW900 monitor for $175, I'm trying to figure out a way to go down there and lug that 95 pound beast back to my dorm.

So it's a card problem, not a monitor problem?
