GPU glitches

My Dell ST2420 does this from time to time, Is yours permanently like that?

First time is done it and rebooting fixed it, it's about a week old.

Also only did it on one monitor, surely if it was a driver issue it would have been on both? Maybe it's the monitor?
 
Check your video cables are plugged into the monitor and graphics card well, it could be also a bad cable or connector on the graphics card or the monitor. Try wiggling the cable a bit at each end and see if it causes it too.

I to have multiple monitors and only does it on one of them, I would send yours back, after you are sure its not a driver issue or graphics card fault.

Well I've been using my other dell ST2220L with this 560TI and the same drivers for a while with no issue so can't see there being an issue there. Also I'm using DVI cables that a screwed in so I don't think them coming loose is an issue.
 
Seems like it's the monitor, up to you if you want to send it back or see if it keeps recurring or not. Then I would send it back for replacement.
 
Damn it, started doing it again but is showing up for a second or two then going and keeps happening every few seconds. I'll try and sort out an RMA now.

EDIT: Monitor settings reset to factory and reinstalled my graphics drivers and nothing. Still doing it constantly now. I've sent the shop a message to let them know and ask about returning it so fingers crossed.
I have not got the box for the monitor anymore so how would I go about posting it?

Can you get very short Mini HDMI to HDMI cables?

EDIT: Got it hooked up via VGA, will leave a few web pages open on it and see what happens. Hopefully it works as sending this back will be a right pain.
