 It's the monitor. A cable inside that passes display information seems to be failing. Digital artifacting rarely looks like that. Google around for your model, maybe somebody has a repair guide.

 It might be worth trying a new cable, just in case. Is it hooked up over VGA, DVI, DisplayPort or HDMI?

 Yeah. My guess is something's electrically wrong with the monitor either with a display cable or a capacitor and it falling out of sync is crashing your graphics driver.
