Answer 1

download and install direct X9 and updrage the drivers on the video card if that does not help than it means u got bad video card

Answer 2

Causes for changing monitor colors: 1) Something inside your computer is loose [make sure none of the cards, cables, and screws are loose]. 2) Your video card needs to be replaced. 3) Software incompatibility [new software is incompatible with old software: downloads or from discs] 4) Virus/ virii [this is the correct spelling of "virus" from Latin, not "viruses."] 5) Your monitor needs to be replaced? 6) It could be some cause(s) other than what's listed above.

Answer 3

couple things listed in order of mostly likely to least likely:
1. Pinched VGA cable, try swapping it out.
2. Monitor is going bad, not likely though monitors usually display wierd stuff on the screen, not solid colors
3. Video Card is going bad, not likely either because video cards will usually put nothing on the screen if going bad.

Answer 4

I'm no geek, but if you go to start @ bottom left,click, go to settings, click, go to monitor,click appearence, then background.
Select choice color, click APPLY, that should lock in your choice, and should not randomly change your background.
As a second thought,check and see if your CPU recognizes the monitor your using.By the way, my T.C#PC013

Answer 5

while changing color just tap on monitor head if its give display good then treir is some dry soldering prob inside the monitor
call a hardware technician ans ask him to clear that
other wise it may may be prob with the connector try to check that also
