I don't feel sparks are OK!

The "short" story:
* When plugging my 305t into my computer via DVI-D I can see a small spark now.
* Only once, about 2 weeks ago while I was using it the screen cut off and went black and would flicker back on with the correct image for a fraction of a second and then reset itself. This lasted for about 5 minutes, repeating about every second and did the same thing even without a PC signal.
* now about 50% of the time it is on I get strange coloring where the 3rd 1/12th of the screen from the right is pink when it should be right and the right most 1/6th of the screen is green when it should be black. Comes and goes... started about 1 week ago.

Background:
I run a 4 monitor setup, 1x 305t, 2x 204b and a POS xerox. No matter which of the 4 ports or 2 cards I use I see the same symptoms. When I was at my old apartment I had no problems and have just recently moved to a new place. When the screen first had cut out I placed both the PC and 305t on the same outlet just in case it was a power issue. Any ideas or things to try?

I got a crazy idea to unplug the display from the grounded outlet and use a 2 prong to 3 prong adapter without grounding it (just wanted to remove the monitor from ground). The 2 faint and large stripes went away, for now, and the monitor appears to be operating OK. So I guess this is some kind of grounding issue, any tips or anything I can buy to fix this?

Crap, it is back again but it is much more faint now that I have removed it from ground. I can actually watch the large saw blade shaped stripes fade out and fade in now and then. It looks like a moving image of an audio file's waves. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
