[G4] Monitor madness

[Mel]

It's difficult to troubleshoot a problem like that via list, but have 
you tried a different monitor? If you have and have not had the problem 
it would of course most likely be your G810. CRT monitors and power 
supplies are the least reliable parts of a computer system. If you have 
tried a different display and the problem remains, then if possible try 
a different video card. If neither resolve the problem, then it is a 
motherboard or other issue that will require a service call.
