    Issue with monitor or video adapter, maybe possibly the cable. Have you tried another monitor?

    That narrows it down a bit. Perhaps the video adapter has issues. If your computer has a discrete video adapter, meaning one that isn't integrated on the motherboard, physically remove it, check the interface slot for debris, and then reinstall it. If you have another video adapter, it can also be tried in place of the original one.
