    greetings,

    just 2 days ago i was working on my paper in word when suddenly my screen (acer x223w) turned green. i cant see the difference between red and black anymore. I thought it was my monitor so i attached my laptop on the monitor and it was normal.

    2nd thing i did was update the Nvidia driver and reboot my pc. Without any good results...

    After that i decided to update my vista to windows 7 professional and it worked! The monitor was normal again! but now (12 hours later) the problem is back. I updated already the Nvidia and i've opened up the case to see if something is not good attached + blown away the dust .

    Does any1 can help me with this?

    grtz

    Check your cable connections carefully. I had a similar problem with my monitor and found it was the connection at the back of the PC.

    Hi rmassy, Welcome to Windowsbbs! :)

    Have you opened up the case and tried reseating the video card? Its possible the card has come loose and isn't showing all of the colors on the monitor.

    Also I would clean the contacts of the video card with an eraser and see if that helps.

    As the monitor display is OK on the laptop I would suspect a faulty graphics card in the desktop.

    I agree. It looks like the only thing that you can do now is replace the graphics card and see if that solves the problem.
