could be one of two things. either your monitor is kicking the bucket, or, you vid card is dying, try another monitor to see if teh problem goes away, if not..that geforce is ready for the garbage :(

just a quick ?? - u have your monitor close to the wall or anything? i tend to find alot of ppl asking me to fix their computer, its doing similar to yours just to find out i move the monitor away from the wall an inch or so and it works perfectly.... cos the cords arent hitting the wall no more

The simplest way would be to pop another videocard in there & see what happens.

Try and run a game to see what happens if they dont run how they did before then you know somthing is up.

Or if you don't have a second card, put your actual one in another computer and see the result
