Alex, Based on the pictures, I don't see any way it could be the monitor or the video cable / connector. It appears that the problem is only present in the "windows" (although not the active window title bar) and the menubar. Is this correct? If it is, I suspect you have extra RAM installed. And since you are running (per the pictures) built-in video... Try removing and replacing the memory SIMMs. I think you might have a bad SIMM connection. You may also have problems if you run programs which exceed the built-in memory.
