Check to make sure your video cable is securely plugged into the video card. You may have bumped it so it is only partially connected.

It is a short in the monitor cable, more than likely. Does your monitor have a removable cable? Try wiggling it and pushing it into the connection in the back of the monitor to see if the red tint goes away.
