I recently installed a 2nd HD onto my PC. When I plugged everything back in, it all worked fine, except my LCD monitor now has a red tint. I am fairly certain, however, that the problem is in the video card. When the monitor is unplugged, the "Check cable connection" screen shows up in the normal colors, but when I start up the comp, even the bios screen has a red tint. Any ideas?

It looks like it is my video card. And it is now showing the color Green. Anything green shows up black.

Cable is well connected, unconnected it and reconnected it. I've established that it is not the monitor, because when not connected, Green shows on the "Check signal cable" screen. I think it might be a hardware problem with the video card. Is it possible that I just fried only green somehow?

I hooked the monitor up to my Laptop as a second monitor, same cable, and its still red. It was the cable, it looks like. Am I absolutely positive I can rule out Monitor, before I go out and get a new cable?

That issue is most likely a cable issue.
Check both ends of the cable to make sure that it is completely seated properly.
If that doesn't solve your problem, then try a new cable.
If there was something wrong with the card it would not be isolated to a single color. The red tint you are seing is because one of the colors in the spectrum are missing.

First thing, which you have probably done already, is to check your connections and make sure your video card has not been dislodged. Failing that, most video cards come with a driver or little program which allow you to adjust your colours. Right click on the desktop>properties>settings>advanced.

What you would be able to desire to objective is open your stepped forward show properties and look at the little circle categorized crimson.(this could be around the area with the brightness, assessment, and gamma settings.) Then regulate the brightness so it somewhat is decrease. this could make it much less crimson. wish this helped! :-)
