    try the monitor on another computer & try another videocard. if monitor still does it than is a cold solder joint problem, that is why it takes a few hrs to work has the heat causes the open solder joint to close & it works.

    you would have to open up the monitor casing to get at the circuit board(s) & resolder all the solder joints. i've done it on floppy controllers, motherboards & crt monitors. might want to take it in to a repair shop to see how much it will cost or just leave the monitor on all the time.

    highly unlikely the cable is causing the problem unless where it is soldered in the monitor. not all pins are used if a vga 15pin connector as about 4 pins are not connected.
