Hardware involved:

- Video card make/model and is it under warranty?
- Monitor make and model and is it under warranty?

Tried swapping out either of those with another machine for a while to see
if it still occurs?

My 2 screens do that occassionally, generally its just the one (Dual monitor
setup), simply powering off/on the offending monitor brings it all back.
