minutes i turn on my computer, the colors on the monitor changes. e.g the green color changes to dark orange or brown then it changes to normal after sometime, then back to the dark orange/brown color again. is it my monitor which is the problem, or is it a computer virus?

This is most likely a monitor problem, not a virus.
My suggestion would be to degauss [demagnetzie] your monitor. This can be done to help clear up display issues on monitors, particularly older CRT monitors.
If you do not have the monitor manual, look for a magnet or lightning bolt looking button on your monitor's button panel. Press it and it should degauss the monitor. You should do this on a regular basis, particularly with older monitors.
See if that resolves your issue. If not, you might have a video driver problem, or some interference from a nearby electronic device. Try moving any close devices emitting EMF waves away from the monitor.
If none of these work, it's time to purchase a new monitor.

There could be a couple of reasons for this, however the most likely would be an "open" (meaning a severed or erratic wire contact) leading to one of the pin connectors on the cable that connects your PC to the monitor.
You may be able to fix that yourself. I would check that this connection isn't loose or toggles where it joins your video card behing the PC.
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES would I suggest that you open your monitor and try to examine it yourself. Even when unplugged a CRT monitor stores high enough current to seriously injure someone.

I'm having the same problem with this issue. it could be your video card as well. but most likely the monitor is going bad. so what i did was installed a different video card i had lying around and i still had the problem. so in my case it was my monitor. hope this helps.
