every once in a while (ex. goes from 15 secs, to 1 min, to 5 min) the colors of my screen turns green/blue for like a second. It pretty anoying, and it hasnt happenned to me before. Im wondering if i can make it stop, and if its good or bad.
Or a the wire in the back of your monitor is loose? lol happened to me i was like NOOO its broke! but then i saw the wire hanging out lol pluged it back it and wooo lol stupid i know but simple. atleast try it
This sounds like you have either bent the cord more than 30% of the circumfrence and got a short or you have something loose. I am not sure about the theory of your GFX card going sour because last time I checked they didn't flash colors while dying but, it is possible I suppose. If it is CRT then I would check cords... if it is plasma... life expectency may be the issue sure enough, LCD... not much to worry about, just check the cords as well.
This has happened to me before but instead I was getting different colours. How old is your video card and how old is your monitor? Are your coords bent in any way or coming out? I know that my coords were bending slightly which caused the colour to change from normal to a pinky-red colour. Sometimes in rare times, the monitor is old and that may be giving out as well.. Snipe.
thanx guys. io just looked and the wire that conects my monitor to the computer is loose. and theres these two bolts on each side. i have no clue how they work. i tried to twst them to make it tighter, but it doesnt work. weird.. let me try some more
You mean you diddn't know what those 2 bolts on both sides do? Oh dear lord.. lol. You should see if the little anchors are there, and if the screws are going into anything when you screw it into the computer.. The screws are what hold the connector in place, making it not fall out LOL. Sounds like that was your problem.
if u have an ati more then likely its going out older ati 9 series cards i notice they start to do that then one day ur computer will boot and the is dead happened to me before
