Purple tinted screen

[sinofasin]

Hi guys first post here,

 

I recently built my first rig using the following parts: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Wpw8kL

 

And i got myself a new LCD monitor; ASUS VS207DE 20" one that strictly uses VGA as output.

 

I built my rig along side the tech guy while he assisted me with the putting of the parts, did my first boot using his monitor, color and everything was just fine when we entered bios to check fan speed etc. I went home and got my rig set-upped with my new monitor ^ using the DVI-I to VGA adapter provided by EVGA to connect between my rig and the new monitor and realized that upon boot my whole screen even the Asus logo at the start's purple tinted. Initially thought it was probably my GPU's graphics issue so i went on to install my OS and then subsequently downloaded the latest drivers for the card online but nothing helped. Thought it was the monitor problem so i brought it back to the tech guy's place and got it checked by connecting the new monitor to his rig and everything displayed just fine; color resolution everything. I went to get an new DVI-I to VGA adapter thinking it could be the adapter's problem but problem persisted. I then tried to connect my graphics card to my home TV using my TV's HDMI cables and everything displayed smooth and just fine, color, resolution everything. 

 

At this point i googled and saw that if colors appear funny even before your system boots up, high chance that it could be the GPU's problem and looking at how the HDMI port worked, i am guessing the DVI-I port on my card is wrecked, or what other possibilities could it be that has been giving me this purple tinted screen?

 

p.s Sorry if im a little longwinded, hoping to be as detailed as possible, was rly anxious about this new rig and this just had to happen.

Could try using the igpu on the 4690k just to see if anything changes before getting a replacement. Try opening the Nvidia control panel and looking at the color settings to see if anything's off, just in case.

 

EDIT: and go to calibrate color in the control panel. These probably won't help, but it's worth looking to see if they somehow got changed. Heck, maybe someone's playing a joke on you.

yep, plugged out my GPU and plugged in my VGA cable between my monitor to my igpu, using it to send this post right now. Color cali seemed fine, did my monitor's setting and it wasn't on warm/cool or whatever, it was on user's settings and nothing has been changed ever since i used the monitor and its settings. thing is my screen is already purple tinted even before my system boots

Well shoot. Good luck on getting that new GPU then!
