Update drivers. If that don't fix it, replace vid card.

Open your online banking information and take another screen shot. I might be able to help you from there.

Probably not. A monitor will die completely usually.

You couldn't screenshoot a bad monitor.

I would check your cable as well; if you have any kind of DVI-HDMI adapter or multiple cables strung together to your monitor it can be an issue sometimes.

Stuff like that is often caused by the memory getting hot, so sure, global warming is a fair answer.

After hearing what the chief had to say about your intermittent problem, I'm inclined to agree with that prognosis. Did you check cable tightness? Any places where the cable gets stressed/kinked?

Cable or monitor would not show up in a screenshot, unless you used a digital camera to take a picture of the screen.
