A monitor is not likely to cause a program to crash. You probably mean your graphicscard (big difference) inside your pc case (or it's onboard your mainboard). It's a good chance the fan of your graphicscard chip has gone dusty and can't cool enough. I had that a couple of weeks ago, right when we had the worst temperatures outside. I wouldn't buy a new pc right away if you do not need it otherwise. Just clean out the fan (and check the CPU and RAM while you're at it) and see what happends. But BE CAREFULL, static electricity charge kills your chips!!! Ground yourself before opening the case or holding the card!!! Or you will need a new card anyway.
