Desktop screen off center.
My Aunt has a Dell computer and a Princeton Digital Monitor VL193.
About every other day, when she boots up, the desktop is off center to the left or to the right and it can be two or three inches. She has to restart to get it to correct itself.
She has to use the Ctrl/Alt/delete to shutdown when it's off to the left.

Try a different monitor. If that isn't it, replace the video adapter.

Easy temporary fix. I have the same problem with the screen being exactly off center. Press the two buttons on the control panel in the middle at the bottom the monitor at the same time. this causes the monitor to reset itself and it corrects the problem at least for my particular situation.
