just a while ago, i walked into my room and i heard this buzzing noise that i thought was crickets from outside, but it turned out to be coming from my monitor. i looked at it and the picture on the moniter was "rolling", as if it were a television getting bad reception. it's a regular desktop monitor, about 17 inches. i've had it for a few years and it's worked well up until now...does anybody know what might be causing this?
It could be lots of things... I don't know too much about monitos, but they aren't really user serviceable... I guess my suggestions would be try to cut the Hz down and try another power cable. I guess checking for shorts in the VGA cable couldn't hurt, either. You can also drop the resolution down, but I have seen some monitors that begin to act up and stop working on higher resolutions they used to display just fine... Assuming you've not changed it recently, I just want to limit out the resoultion right now.

Just like in a garden-variety living room television set, your vertical hold has lost synchronization. Like The Other One says, try changing your resolution. Being a regular desktop monitor and not an LCD unit, see if you have a Vertical Hold control anywhere.
If you have another monitor to try, connect that to the PC to rule out a bad video card. Rolling pic on the new monitor? Video card has a problem.
If you have another PC, try putting the questionable monitor on that one. If the questionable monitor keeps a rolling picture, the monitor needs repair, adjustment, or replacement. Replacement's your best/cheapest option.
