     Actually this sounds more like a hardware then software problem. You're
monitor has various lines going to it, some of them contain the red, green
and blue information. Since monitors use additive colours either the blue or
green signal is not always getting to the monitor. It sounds like you're
problem might be heat related, as the computer or monitor warms up the
problem either comes or goes. If you are not familiar with electronics there
are a few things you can do. First try the monitor on another computer, if
the problem goes away there is something wrong with you're video card, try
replacing it. If the problem persists there is a problem with you're
monitor, either in the cable or inside the actual box. If the cable is
detachable try it with a different cable, if not you will have to bring it
to a repair person. Monitors have lethal voltages inside, even with power
removed and I don't recommend anyone not familiar with monitor repair to
actually open one (or a TV or any other device with a CRT for that matter).
