which way is it shaking, up and down or left and right?

I agree. It's probably the drivers. If it's shaking up and down that
it's your vertical sync. Left and right is your horizontal sync.
are you using the digital video input or are you using analog? Is the
display resolution the same as the card resolution? IE if the screen
has 1280 by 1024 pixels, is the video card generating the same
resolution? LCDs get funky if they are driven with any resolution other
than the native one. The most common artifact is display fuzziness.

only with a CRT that had a magnet or speakers next to it.
