background and taskbar

When im on the computer, for about 5-10 min's, the background turns to blue and the taskbar turns from silver to blue. i have the latest updates and video driver. i dont know whats causing this.

 

Hi flaring_griever

With this limited information, my first suspicion would be your monitor. IF this "5 - 10 minutes" is measured from the time the monitor is "powered up" when the colors begin to change, you might be looking for a new monitor. Do you have another similar monitor you could use temporarily to see if problem persists or is resolved.

 

I have a 17 inch LCD monitor. the taskbar sometimes stays black if it doesnt change to blue.

Still not much info to work with. Never had a LCD screen, so don't have user experience. With color changing as the screen warns up... (not sure if warm up is a issue with LCD), my 1st guess is the monitor. Possible could be video card. Did this S L O W L Y become a problem or just show up one day when you turn on the computer? If latter, posible a new program install changed some video settings... but generally that affects monitor output immediately, not over time. Is there a way you can try a different LCD screen to trouble shoot this issue? Also go to the manufacture's website, possible can find some trouble shooting advice for your model. Naturally if the LCD is under warranty, give them a call, let them resolve the problem. Keep in mind, when a LCD starts going bad, not much you can repair, you replace.
