Check your capacitors for swelling and heat.

Agreed.  You didn't state what kind of monitor you have, but that sounds just like a VGA monitor with a loose connector.

Thanks for the help guys...Peale I believe that is EXACTLY what it was cause I hooked 2 diff monitors and it had the same effect until I disconnected from the Tower and reconnected...LIFE was good again!!

That was scary...I thought I really fried something good! You guys are good detectives...Appreciate it!!

Merry CHRISTMAS!!
