-- Posted by SweeterThanChocolate at 3:35 pm on April 25, 2008 my friends computer monitor is okay initially on start up, but after 5 minutes, the monitor starts to flash a pink colour, until it turns pink all the time and stays it. does anyone have any idea what could be causing it? -- Posted by i who have nothing at 3:35 pm on April 25, 2008 Have you tried degaussing it? Usually it's in the monitor's menu and accessed by using the buttons on said monitor. neveramind.  wrong type o' monitor. -- Posted by tomboi93 at 3:36 pm on April 25, 2008 virius is my best gest -- Posted by marshmellowman at 3:36 pm on April 25, 2008 Have you tried using a different monitor, see if the problem persists? Or equally using the same monitor with a different computer? All these can help locate where the problem is. It'd seem like a cable problem causing colour change, however, due to it persisting after five minutes, I'd suggest a graphics card fault. -- Posted by Crazy snake at 3:39 pm on April 25, 2008 Its probably a graphics card problem. That kinda thing can happen as the computer gets old. Try a new one, and if the problem persists, you'll probably need a new monitor, or cables.
