Your monitor may be confused enough that the different data seen when
the cube is rotated affects what it thinks are sync pulses.

Incorrect timing will cause skewed output, but the monitor will keep
attempting to lock the signal, which can cause all kinds of rolling or
flashing.

Note, most of this is pure conjecture at this point. Someone with the
right hardware and enough time to figure out where things are going
wrong will be needed to solve this.
