It could be software.
Remove then reinstall the video card's device driver.
It is also possible that the monitor descriptor files are corrupt.

It might be hardware (the monitor's power supply on the fritz??).
Try another monitor with your box.
Try this monitor on another box.
(Actually, I'd try the hardware solutions FIRST.)
