I don't total understand what you are saying about when it makes the
noise... Is it only in X-Windows?? Or does it make the noise at the regular
prompt? X can destroy a monitor (From what I hear... I have no personal
experience) if you set the sync rate to high in the XF86config program (Or
whatever you use). But if you get the same problem at the regular prompt,
then obviously that is not the problem!
My next suggestion would be to try changing the power cord... I don't see
how a video card could directly affect the "health" of a monitor... Though
it maybe possible and I'm just not aware of it.
