I went to my cousin's today to use her computer and the screen went all green then changed back to normal then stayed green. What's wrong with it? Will mine do it too? How can she fix it?

Old fashioned CRT monitor, rather than LCD, right? Red/Blue guns are going inside the picture tube, or the circuits driving them. Nobody fixes monitors, they are dangerous to work with. She should shop for a new one.
All monitors die eventually, but I have seen 8 year old monitors still running.

I had that problem and i found out there were some loose copper wires behind the screen in the monitor. Happens because of the high temp/ heat that comes from the monitor. She can carry it to an electronics store to get that repaired or buy a new one. Laterz!

Try swapping this to another monitor, seems like the monitor is given up. Have this check maybe the capacitors and resistors are starting to expand, this sometimes burst up. Have this check immediately to a hardware computer technician.
God bless.

Check the cable between the monitor and the computer, it might be loose.

You could even have cold solder joints in the power and or video section of the monitor board.

What kind of computer, OS, and monitor? Could be overclocking causing it.
