Flashing Monitor, and chattering fan

My computer is doing an interesting thing...about every minute to 5 minutes, everything turns red, just for a second, then back to normal. This is something I haven't noticed before, but its been happening all morning. I've checked all my connections, and they seem to be fine. I've got an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 Ultra video card, and an NEC MultiSync LCD1765 Flatpanel monitor.
is one of these about to die on me, or am I simply being paranoid? What can I try to fix this?
Also: one of the fans in my system makes an INCREDIBLY annoying chattering noise. Its near constant when the computer is on. It'll go away for a minute or two if I tap the back near the fans, but comes back pretty quick. Someone's suggested WD-40. Is this a good idea?

I haven't got an idea about the monitor problem; I'd guess something broke inside it - you can check if it's the monitor by hooking it up to some other computer.

as for the monitor, well, its stopped the crazy, so...whatever.
