Pc monitor is black and white

[p1ng]

So I'm having a problem with my monitor/PC atm.. 

I had just turned on my pc when the screen suddenly went black and white. I tried restarting the computer, but it didn't work. I then tried to connect the pc to another monitor, but that had the same problem. I have also tried reinstalling the drivers several times, with no result. Maybe you guys could give a helping hand?

Thanks in advance

Have you got a picture? 

It could be your Graphics card... I had this same issue not so long ago..

Try and plug your hdmi/vga or whatever you use into the onboard graphics rather than your graphics card, if it works then your GPU has mostly likely broken

EDIT: When mine broke the fan still spun, so its not always something visable that shows its broken..

I just tried plugging the VGA into the motherboard but when I got into Windows there were still no colors...

Try this;

 

Left Alt+Left Shift+Print Screen

And how does the Left Alt+Left Shift+Print Screen affect this? what does it change?

Perhaps double check that your GPU is seated properly in place.
