Why does my screen occasionally invert all colours for a split second and then go back to normal? Is it a kind of warning? I'm guessing it's something to do with RAM usage being too high...

2)
Is there a way to get a list of all the hardware components on my PC? I wanna find out the specs of it and I wanna know if there's a way...

3)
The monkey keeps terrorising me, how do I stop him!?!?

Does the monitor make a "plinking" noise when it inverts colours.?

Click - Invert colours for a second - Back to normal

It's definantly a warning of some kind?

It's just Windows display refreshing every now and again, you shouldn't concern yourself with it.

Right-click on My Computer, then go to Device Manager (it may be in one of the tabs). However, it may be less than helpful. Whenever I'm checking out someone's rig I find the easiest way is to just look (apart from the CPU, heh).

1) The cable might not be in properly, if it's old and not protected as it should be, it could be caused by the magnets on your speakers or all the negative stuff which gathers there after a while...(in which case, DEGAUSS it..theres shoul dbe an option or button on your monitor)

2) You can download pieces of software off the net which runs tests to see what hardware you have and how efficient it is, I don't know any more details.
You could try right clicking on 'My Computer' and selecting (Properties > device manager) for other hardware such as PCI cards, video and soundcard info aswell as any thing else you've got in there.

3) ....what? :p
