Most likely this is a problem with the card itself. First, check that the pins on the monitor cable are all straight. If one is off just a little it can be causing problems. Plug it in nice and and tight and screw it down. Wiggle the cable see if you can duplicate the problem. If not then turn the resolution down a notch or two. If it continues to happen, replace the card. There has been a lot of weird problems with the Virge/DX chipset.
