Random Degaussing

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem. For approximately 3 weeks now my Dell Dimension monitor (17" CRT standard with Dimension 2400 CPU) has been randomly degaussing itself. In some instances it will happen once or twice a day. In some instances it will happen every minute. The monitor will degauss, shake, loud popping sound and return to normal. In some instances it will do a "double deguassing" in which it begins the process of degaussing, and in the middle of the first degaussing procedure it will re-initiate the process again. I do not have any issues with magnets or speakers (I have the Dell Surround Sound 5.1 Speaker System with subwoofer and speakers more than 18" from the monitor). I had the monitor plugged into a surge protector. I have called Dell Support and reinstalled the drivers. I have attempted to adjust the refresh rate. I have tried plugging the mon itor into different electrical outlets. Nothing has appeared to work. Any guidance anyone can give me on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank You,
