the edges of my screen have started to have a ripple

Be sure that the connector between monitor and PC is secure - at both ends.

If there are any devices close to the monitor that produce a magnetic
field, move them away.

Try another monitor, or try your monitor on another system.

or a floresent lamp, or a high voltage halogen lamp. I've even seen nearby
cell phones do it when they're active.
