I was actually just wondering more than anything. I got kind of suspect that a monitor was grilling my boards...but it turns out to be one simple thing:
NASTY ASS PCCHIPS MOTHERBOARDS!
Simply put, these are vile boards that stand AT LEAST a 50% chance of being defective from Newegg. Or anywhere else. I don't know, since I only order from Newegg...

STEER CLEAR OF ANY LOW END PCCHIPS MOTHERBOARDS. This is the fourth one I've had die or be defective/unstable for me. Sad thing is they actually are good performers...when they're alive. Although the BIOS was limited to say the least.
I'll be honest...I don't even know why I entertained the thought of it being the monitor. It wasn't the monitor on 1 or 2 to be certain...and was just stupid to think it was the cause of the last 2 I ordered back to back to die. Essentially, I was a tight wad...and it wound costing me more in the end. Lesson learned. This has got to be one of the stupidest things I have ever done...
One other thing is I do believe they're responsible for the death of 2 video cards as well. Which leads me to another question:
Can a motherboard kill an AGP video card??
Thanks for all your replies.
I've got way to much time on my hands
