Blue hue on computer, but not caused by the monitor. Does it come from the graphic card?

http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/290209-having-trouble-pink-tint-my-screen.html

check the connection between the computer and the monitor
plug into onboard graphic port or graphic card check power connection on graphic card if needed.if your techie reseat graphic card with computer unplugged

1.make sure your graphic card is securely fitted and if power is required to the card,then check the power connector is securly fitted and inserted

2.try changing your monitors lead from the v.g.a connector to the d.v.i connector at the back of the card,the v.g.a. is a blue connector and the d.v.i. is a white connector,and the d.v.i requires a d.v.i to v.g.a converter

3.where applicable install any monitor drivers however these are rarely required

4.run the direct x diagnostic utility,press start>run>type dxdiag >press enter,then go to the display tab and run the "test direct 3d" test

5.finally check all cables are securly fitted
if after these tests and tasks you still experience problems then change the graphics card and run the tests again,if you experience more problems then a new video/graphic card is required

hope this helps

Make sure your monitor cable is connected/seated correctly and firmly on both; monitor and computer.
If that fails, you may have a bad graphics card. Now, if you have an extra monitor, you could always plug that one in to see if your graphics card is working. If that works, then your other monitor is bad.

This problem can also be caused by the RAM or CPU not seated properly in their sockets. Check to see if they are seated correctly.

Try resetting the monitor to defaults if possible. If you still have the greenish yellow hue then at that point, try another known working monitor on the computer, if the hue goes away then you know the original monitor is bad, if you still have the greenish yellow hue then you know the video card is bad.

Try moving the cable around...
try another monitor

You could also try opening your computer and taking the video card off and putting it back on... Don't do this if you are not sure that you can :)

Try a different known working monitor on the vga port of your laptop. If the replacement monitor works then you definitely know its a problem with your original monitor. If the replacement monitor shows the same blue hue then you know the vga port is bad on the laptop which would mean replacing the motherboard since its connected to the laptop.

possibly the default refresh rate / resolution is causing it ?

Also have you tried decreasing hardware acceleration and do both computers have onboard graphics cards or are they dedicated ones.

onboard graphics cards are ones that are built into the motherboard and dedicated ones are a seperate card.

VGA connector being at the bottom left in blue with aprox 15 pins.

Dedicated graphics card

Dedicated graphics cards have a few different connection types ie PCI, PCI EXPRESS , AGP 4 speed and 8 speed but all are a physical card that you have to insert / install into the computer.

I would also try and degaus the monitor ( refer to the manual - generally a button or buttons that you press and release that should help )

If not then its the monitor at fault and you need a new one.

it is the monitor that is causing the problem, you have lost one of your color bands and there is no adjustment to fix it. time to get another monitor. sorry

Hey Tricky Cat!

My first advice would have been the cable...since that did not resolve it it can only be 1 of two other things...the video card (might be intregrated on your motherboard)...or the monitor.

To test plug in another monitor if you have one. If the problem resolves it is the monitor...if not then the video card.

You will have to way your expenses to fix...usually a monitor is cheaper to replace...as well as a video card. If it is integrated the cheapest route is to buy a new video card and turn off the old one in the BIOS.

Good luck my friend.
