I need help. My computer's display suddenly becomes purple and hurts my eyes. It now happens frequently. I wonder what is the problem. Color green letters and pictures are becoming difficult to see once the problem occurs. As I type this discussion my screen flickers and it is like the purple and the original colors are fighting each other.
These are my system information:
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
Memory: 512MB of RAM
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1 Build 2600)
Display Device: RADEON 7500 SERIES
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c
Monitor: Flatron LCD Monitor

Dear you really don't need to give all these information as most of them are mere softwares and your problem is caused by some kind of damage in the circuitry of your monitor. You should contact Flatron or whatever manufacturer it is and relate to them in details your problem. In fact my own monitor is having problems with colors. I just repaired this monitor a few months before. They sent one engineer who fixed the circuit. Now it's a different kind of problem. I can see no red color in here. Everything that is used to be in some shade of red are appearing complete black. It used to hurt my eyes but then I changed the settings of my monitor and adjusted it to a tolerable level. I really don't want to spend anymore money in repairing this piece of junk. As soon as I save enough money to buy an LCD I will throw this thing away. But you really should consult the manufacturer before taking any such drastic step.

I think I figured out the problem. I rested my computer monitor for 30 minutes and the color changed back to normal. I think it is somewhat kind of over heating.
Thank you for the Response.

if you can't access your antivirus to know what's going on and if this is caused by a virus, there are free scans online like in avast's and comodo's websites
now do you have a backup cd, like those types that you just insert and it comes back exactly the way you use to like? that's nice

check the monitor's cable, maybe it's just loose. if the cable connection is ok, there really might be a problem with the monitor.

I am not a computer technician but I have a little knowledge of how a computer operates. My suspicion could either theres a problem with your video card, or your monitor needs replacement.
With your video card, incompatibility with other hardware and/or operating system could be a possible reason. If you have another video card, you try changing your video card and see what happens.There might be something wrong with your settings, that is video setting or monitor image setting.
Of course if you don't know how to remove or install a hardware, you better call an able computer technician.
