I'm not sure if its a problem with the internal hardware itself. Do the color changes occur after some time of usage, or is it right when its turned on? Also is this an LCD Monitor? If its not and it uses a color tube, there's a good chance its just a monitor going bad, especially if it was used frequently in its 4yr period of ownership.

OS is W2K Pro SP4 with all security updates. I built this computer 4 yrs ago. Hardware is an Asus P4PE, 512mb Kingston RAM, 80gb WD HD, NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 display adaptor and a Liquidvideo A150X1 monitor.

I've checked all external connections but no internal connections.

Any thoughts as to the cause? I noticed Staples had 19" flat panel monitors for around $189 in the Sunday paper, so if the monitor is going out, this would be an opportunity to move up to a larger screen.

Thanks for all input.
