Perhaps you're sensitive to low refresh rates? Try the highest rate that both your vid card and monitor support.
Aside from that, I'd try your monitors on a different system. If the problem goes away, then it's likely a problem with your vid card. Either some settings are mis-tweaked or it's just time for a new card.
