3. I Have Had This Occur A Few Times...
and mostly with lower-end Nvidia cards and flat CRTs. It seems to have something to do with the card or the monitor not being able to maintain a constant refresh rate. This causes the tube to go on and off and you get a sound like a static electricity discharge. I ha d a couple 19" monitors ruined over time from this. To find out what vid card you have:

>Right-click on your desktop and select "Properties" from the menu that appears.
>Select "Settings"

Under the heading "display" you will see you monitor model (or PnP monitor) and video card model.
