it's probably not your monitor.

Try resetting your cmos.
try building the PC outside of the case to rule out grounding.

Also, list all the components in your system.

reseat the vid card, its vid plug, make sure the power to the vid card is connected (and or reseat it) if it has one. Make sure at least one of the hold in screws for the monitor cable are screwed into the vid card.

tried that with no luck

i seriously don't understand why this would happen suddenly
it was working fine a week ago

you think taking out the battery will have any effect ?

It will definately reset cmos. But then you can do that with the jumper.
