This might not be hardware at all. If the person is running Windows 2000, and using the Liveware 2.0 drivers with a Soundblaster Live, there is a driver issue which causes the background to be pink (at least with TNT2 cards). It also shifts the rest of the color pallet around a bit. A restart usually fixes it, but it returns up on random restarts.
