Well a little background about my pc. I got it two or so years ago (going on three in December). Its a HP Pavilion 7965. The monitor itself says "mx 75".
Anyhow, I've never had problems with it til lately when I moved into my dorm. The screen itself tends slightly pixelate in small areas (usually a straight line across the screen). Its very hard to notice unless you're really paying attention to it. Though yesterday it sort of "had a heart attack" as my room mate called it.
I was surfing for something and the moment a site loaded the monitor began to turn off and on rapidly. It made the usual click sound it always makes whenever you turn it on or off. It didn't respond to hitting the power button on it.
My first thought was the power supply was going mad so I unplugged the monitor only and then the other plug that was next to it and then replugged it. It turned back on doing the same thing.
Then, I simply killed the entire system via my power strip and let it reboot. It didn't start doing it again so I went back to surfing.
Once again, the same site loaded and it began again. This time I managed to get it to turn off while catching it between turning off and on (when the screen was off).
I managed to close the window with the site an everything was fine. So I thought the site was the source of the problem so I sent my boyfriend the link. He said it worked fine for him.
Now what's around my montior: Just the tower, my tablet and our mini fridge is about two feet away. I don't know if the fridge could be doing anything.
I hope this is enough information. And oh yes, the link to the site I was at is this:

Thanks in advance!
