It could be your monitor needs repair. Be sure all wires are secured. Try running another (borrowed) monitor. If that one acts up too it is the videocard most likely. If good, your monitor is at fault. Does the thump sound like a hum for a second?
Hi, yep it does have a loud hum for a second or two. This was happening a couple of years ago and then it quit. I also have an old Dell that crashed and had to have windows re-installed. When I boot up the desktop is all wavy for a second then it makes a slight noise and is clear. I thought it might be the video drivers since it was a fresh install of windows 95. I didn't use it after that because I got a new one. I don't have it on the internet so I didn't download the latest video drivers.
