Everything is purple

[spwath]

So i came back to my computer, and everything on my monitor is tinted purple.

This has happened a few times.

 

What could be causing this?

 

EDIT:

Apears to be monitor, issue is fixed after turning monitor off then on

Its HDMI, so no. and it just randomly happens, and goes away after restart.

Reinstall drivers, if that doesn't work, try your iGPU just to make sure it's not your monitor.

Use DDU to uninstall the drivers and Install the freshly downloaded drivers from Manufacturers website.

HDMI cables can still be bad.

 

In that case, it could just be your gpu.

[FatPenguin]

Cable could be going. maybe your gpu is dyeing?

fx-6300

 

 

actualy, it apears to by my monitor. Turning monitor off then on fixes it..

[CydiaDash]

Also. Look at the title and then open this spoiler

[Sharif]

Is it possible to fix something like that? or is monitor manufacturer/warranty only option?

My old monitor did this, but it never actually affected anything. Mostly it happened when I'd install updates, and restart Windows to finalize the install. Try resetting your color calibration in Windows, and doing it through the monitor instead. My old monitor still hasn't died, and I've had it for five years now, and it's got over 25,000 hours on its backlight. I wouldn't be concerned that it's your GPU, as I had the same issue.

[iamdarkyoshi]

Might be the monitor's internal graphics processing

ok.

It is a oldish non LED CCFL monitor.

It was bought aboutt 5 years ago, and it is a debranded HP, so no support whatsoever from HP

do you use VGA ?

 

if yes. the cables break and do this. if you play around with it you get different colors. wich is quite fun. but also annoying

HDMI does either work, or it doesn't. It's a digital cable.

Only analog cables can have weird color issues, like VGA, DVI-A, SCART, and so on.

Eh no.

 

Have you ever bent an HDMI Cable 190* and then try to use it.

Weird-ass shit happens.

Just did that to my DisplayPort cable which essentially uses the same technology. Nothing happened.

you gotta bend it until the conductors break and/or short against each other. try slowly unplugging a DVI cable and you can get weird colors

Must have a nice DisplayPort Cable.

I'm talking cheap mono price ones.

MonoPrice cables are usually pretty good afaik. My DP cable came with my monitor, so it can't be that great.
