Really bad flickering and color changes. Something wrong with my video card?

This has been going on for months and has been getting steadily more frequent. I recorded it. Does anyone know what's going on? I just replaced the VGA cable and the VGA adapter yesterday but that didn't fix a thing. I also moved my computer closer to the monitor so the cords aren't being tugged on as much, but nothing changed.

This happens randomly when I go to a website or use something like Microsoft Word. Restarting the computer temporarily fixes it for a while, but it always comes back.

Here's a video of it happening: https://youtu.be/EYCRPStuJm8

Do you know if this happens with different monitors? This looks more monitor related than the GPU.

I've only used this monitor so far. I do have a second monitor I can try switching out for later today.

OK, I would switch it and post your results
