Answer» Trying to troubleshoot why my monitor screen keeps flickering in color .. mostly pinks. In fact just a while ago my whole screen turned bright pink, but I was still able to see what was on the screen. I thought at first it might be my brand new monitor, but now I am THINKING it might be my video card. Sure could use some input. ThanksHave you made any changes to your system recently? Which operating system are you using? Are there any magnets near the monitor or computer? Have you tried updating your video card drivers? try using another monitor to identify if this is a video card issue or a monitor issue. Flamewhat type of monitor is it?? LCD?Plasma?? or the normal old picture tube? (the REALLY wide ones) because if it is the old picture tube style, it is PROBABLY the monitor. ive had that problem before.Or it could be the connection...Gosh, thanks for all the replies. Checking things out like you suggested. The monitor is a brand new Acer 19" wide screen, not even had it a month.

Flame FlameAnswer to Flame: No changes recently that I can think of that would cause something like this to happen. I have ALWAYS been very careful when it comes to magnets in or around my computer area, so I feel safe, even after checking, there is nothing around. I did check drivers for the video card, but since it also is a new card, there is nothing newer than what I have. OK, after changing out monitors I have found that when I put my new back in .. it has not DONE any flickering. There is the chance that maybe a loose connection was causing it. I am just happy it is fixed. I would like to thank all of you again for your help and suggestions. At least when I trouble shoot again, I will have more ideas to help me do that. Sure thing.
