Has nothing to do with the monitor. Youtube  uses your PC's integrated GPU  to feed the video signal to the monitor. The games use your PC's discrete GPU to feed the  video signal to the monitor. Some PC's automatically switch from integrated GPU to discrete GPU. Apparently your PC doesn't. So it might be helpful if you could reveal the brand and model number of your PC.

is it the problem with the resolution in game? in am using 640x480

Very likely yes, try bringing the resolution up to the minimum the monitor supports.
