Ati 9600XT card + ViewSonic VX910 LCD.

Screen flashes in yellowish color every once in a while.

It does so even at:
Stock speeds-overclocked speeds-Windows XP-Windows Me-Old drivers-New drivers.

EDIT: ...and so it turns out it was a bent pin on one end of the VGA cable!

hmmm, had that happen to my first lcd, but it flashed white, then one day when i turned it on it stayed white
 
LCD is 4 months old, the card is 6 months old. The card itself has never been overclocked.

The cord was the first thing tried.
 
Heh. Yes... a really old PCI card and an old monitor and I wil eventually post the results for others with similar problems in the future to see but I was hoping to see if this was a problem that someone else encountered because I would have to use the system for a bit to notice it, it doesn't happen all the time,...
