Yes that is it, normally the Thunggg happens on first powerup from dead, I
don't normally hear it again until close down. Just recently the monitor has
been randomly powering off with this noise, a moments black screen, and
then back to whereever I was on desktop, nothing lost ,and it does it automatically I'm not having to reset anything,

to clarify,
  thunggg is a sound of a time period last several seconds.
  thunk is a sound of a short time period, a second or less.
Oh, it's quite short, how can I put it, the whole thing including the
sound and black screen back to desktop is no more than a couple of
seconds


short thunk, when power is first applied, 1, 2 seconds and then thunggg.

in powering off, there would be no thunggg as there is no need to degauss
when powering off, but there could be a thunk as power relay drops out.
Your've got it. that is how it is,



as mentioned, how a monitor is driven in resolution can be a factor in what
amount of current is drawn by monitor. more res = more current = heat.
ok but would i be able to feel this excessive heat around the monitor
casing, because if so, it's not hot at all, cann't say I feel any sensation
of normal ambient temperature.


as mentioned, try dropping resolution.

as for linux drivers versus oos drivers, i dislike saying this, but oos
does have tighter and better drivers.
Oh, the M9.0 is running on nvidia's own, but M9.1beta3 is on
open source drivers. I'm not really suspecting drivers.



Well, I've just spend an hour unplugging and replugging everything, I want
to test this a bit and see whether that stops the problem, if not I'll try
dropping monitor settings.
