I would guess that your problem is NOT related to the monitor, since
the symptomatology is similar to what happened to me.  I would guess
that your power supply is either hopelessly dirty and unable to cool
itself down, or it's just plain fried.  Those things are somewhat
notorious for overheating and need to be pampered (no setting them
on the floor in a pile rug, for instance).  Another possibility is
the video chip inside the C64.

All this doesn't mean that the monitor isn't frazzled, but mine has
not failed at all in 3 years, while I have had a problem similar to
yours with 2 separate 64's in that time.
