Have you tried a different monitor?

It sounds like a beat frequency.
This happens on old TV sets when their electrolytic capacitors dry up
and the power grid freq / vertical deflection freq beat (60.00Hz vs ~59.94Hz).

"less severe".  Hmmm.

Yeah--then there's the *can't write NTFS yet* thing.

Tried Wine?
