Red = Black - Green = Yellow - Blue =...Blue

I just booted up my new comp and it seems my colors are quite out of whack.

My RGB Values arent RGB....more like BYB. Dunno why it's doin this, heh....any thoughts?

Radeon 9500 pro agp 4x
asus a7v8x

Did I forget to push a button?



ps.

btw, this isn't freshly formatted, just a new mobo, cpu, ram and the hdd's just thrown in from the old stuff. Same cards in it tho.

Make sure all the cables are tight, ie monitor cable. Maybe give the monitor a degaussing quick. Then reinstall the display driver if it's still displaying funky. One of the three should fix something

It sounds like you monitor kicked it for some reason.
Did you try hooking your monitor to another system to see if it's OK?

I've had some old monitors do this to me, if it's an older monitor the electron guns in the tube get kinda out of whack, usually you have to get a new monitor, but sometimes if you give it a good smack on the side it'll straighten it out for a while. I know it's a bit barbaric but it does work.

I don't know if that will help the monitor, but it might make you feel better.

Check the connector for a bent pin..... maybe one of the color pins (RGB) are not making contact. The absence of one color would make the rendering of the other two act as you describe.

Maybe a bad cable too.
