My Screen Flashes To Lime Green -

[WilliamIV]

SOMETIMES - my screen starts to Flash - from the nomal blue hue to Lime Green

Is this an indication of some kind of Intrusion - Virus or SpyWare?

Or have the Colours in my system become unstable

- or are they potential death throes of my Monitor

More than likely it's a hardware problem. Try reinstalling your graphics drivers first. What kind of graphics card and monitor do you have, and how old are they?

is it a crt (like a telly big back on it)monitor or tft type the thin one

if it is CRT then see if it degauss button and press it

dont be scared the screen is supposed to shake and wobble like that!

have you installed any hardware or software just before this happened?

turn machine off remove card reseat

is it an agp card?

they are prone of unseating if machine is moved too much or banged whatever

also the device driver thing is good as posted b4

hope this helps

Is your video cable securely screwed into your video card?

Endure's probably right, double check your video cable is making proper contact.

The screen going green is most often caused by the loss of the red color signal, somewhere in the cable or most likely the D shaped plug...
