monitor problems

[celeron866]

Hello to all and thanks in advance.I have a problem that happens 3 to 4 times a week and sometimes 2 or 3 times a day.My monitor will change color.What happens is that if you are in a folder,onthe web whatever the whole monitor will go from a white background to an off white color.If you watch it you can see it change color nothing drastic but very noticable.I then shut down unhook the monitor from the video card blow out the connectors and whalla evey thing is just fine.Do you think it is the monitor or the video card.Am running riva tnt2 32meg latest driver.card is about 2yrs old.

It sounds like a connection problem. Monitor cable could be bad.
