No, the problem is not coming from your motherboard.
It's a monitor issue. The refresh rate is not set correctly. Right click on your desktop, select Properties, Setting, Advanced and look for the refresh rate. Try to lower the setting.
If you can't even do that in windows, try booting to Safe Mode upon bootup. Restart your computer when it is booting press F8. Select Safe Mode.
If it doesn't help. Your monitor is wearing out. Try to test it with another monitor before buying a new one.

Hi feeob,
i agree with fren, but it could be also that there any magnetic devices or other devices near your monitor that causes the problem..if there are no devices that interfers with your monitor to function improperly, then it could be a faulty monitor ...

Play around with the refresh rate, set it above 60 one a time. See what will happen.
Remove and reinstall your video adapter driver and the monitor driver. See what will happen.
