Help me with my monitor please.

Okay recently my computers monitor has been having issues. It flashes from normal to a screen that says something about dell genesis display perfection. Recently it has been even flashing on and off by itself rapidly. I tried to replace the cable between the monitor and the computer and also have thrown in my old video card. Both times it improved slightly but quickly reverted to a worse state. I have a dell XPS that is about 3 years old and the monitor that goes with it. The video card was a mid ranged radeon that worked great up until now. Running windows xp with sp 2. Thanks in advance.

From the looks of it the monitor is fried. Try another monitor on the pc or the montor on another pc.

Yeah the odd thing is, it feels like working today, but not yesterday...

I have no idea how long it will last now. It is a relatively new monitor too. I'd prefer not to spend 150 dollars on a new one.

But that seems like the only option. I need to borrow another monitor to test it.
