I've already tried changing the different color options i.e. 16 bit to 32 bit to 256 colors.

Most monitors have a degaus button press that one. How old is the monitor? Most Monitors go out after a year, check your cable connections too, look into the connection for any finger breaks. If that doesn't work unplug everything for a couple of minutes. Turn everything back turn before you turn the monitor on. If that doesn't work place a
Big Magnet speaker on top of the screen for a couple of minutes.
If that doesn't work go to your Display Control Settings and run a diagnostic. If that doesn't work contact the Manufacturer. If that doesn't work trade your Monitor for a compatible one, you can even get those flat screens they are pretty cheap now. If that doesn't work give me a call and I can hook you up with an old monitor that does work. If that doesn't work sell the monitor on ebay. I got more suggestions, if does dont work.

You most likely passed by, or moved your monitor closer to something that has a magnetic influence. Too close to another monitor, tv, stereo, anything with an electric motor. This magnetic influence changes colours either by producing a moire (rainbow?)
effect or blotchy non-pure colours. The term to correct this problem is "degaussing". A lot of newer monitors will have a button that you push and the problem is solved. What you could do, is look for what is causing the disturbance, and remove it, or place your monitor elsewhere. All monitors, as well as, colour tv's
have a built-in degausser coil that sends electricity thru a cable, all around the outer edges of the picture tube, inside the case. If the bad influence is removed, merely turning the monitor off for a few minutes, and then back on. This should clear up the problem.
If that fails, try a tv technician and tell them your tube needs "degaussing"

Is there a chance the video card became loose in the move? Check to see if it is seated properly. You will have to open your PC tower and check if the card is securely in place (unless you have an on-board video chip).
If the only thing you did was move it, then I doubt software is the problem, but try reinstalling drivers.
Is the monitor cable plugged in correctly? Unplug and replug making sure it lines up correctly.
Hope this helps.

Sounds like a bent pin on the monitor connector. Could also be a loose card in the PC. Check the connections.

in moving the computer, was the wire connecting the monitor to the PC damaged? check that the pins are OK. could there be some new interference behind or near the monitor? good luck.

1st. check the display driver.
2nd make sure the monitor cable PIN's nothing broken. If one PIN is broken, then there's problems with the colors. Worst nothing to display.
Feel free to contact me

Check the video cable and make sure it is seated properly.
