The whole screen? Did you jiggle the cable? Monitor going bad?

If you're talking about specific services or hosts, what is their  
service status when this happens? Is it Pending? That would mean that  
nagios hasn't yet checked those services (i.e. after a restart/ 
reload). If you don't like that, enable status Retention.

You -may- also have multiple nagios processes running if this is  
happening intermittently. There's a FAQ entry for that but essentially  
you'll want to stop nagios, ensure that all nagios processes are  
stopped and restart nagios.
