RESOLVED colors messed up

n0thing · 02-02-2007, 07:59 AM

ok, i have a geforce4 MX4000 video card, and recently the colors have messed up. everything has a blue-ish or green-ish hue to it, so things that would normally be white look greenish.
at first, i could fix it by moving my computer slightly, then i switched monitors, and know it's happening on both monitors.
is there any way i can fix this.

well, i fixed it, but i dont know how.
when the colors messed up on the first one, i plugged the second one in.
it still didnt work
i tried a new power cord.
still didnt work.
i did what you said, reseated the card and cleaned it.
still didnt work
then, i put in an older AGP video card, a Rage 128Pro
still didnt work
then, i put in this really old PCI video card
still didnt work
then i switched monitors back to the first one, and put in the Geforce, and it worked.

i dont know why, but at least its working
