Apple mac g5 how do you know if your video card has gone wrong?

i'm running a g5 with 2 formac 2010 gallery displays (one 4 yrs old, one 2yrs old) suddenly today both screens went very bright looking and the contrast now makes everything (icons, windows all programmes) "burnt & bleached out " resulting in a bright low res look to everything



I have restarted, turning everything off, literally at the mains, and starting again, I've zapped prams, repaired permissions, checked monitor resolutions and brightness haven't been changed by accident. check all cables and connections. All to no avail.



I'm not very technical (I just want my graphics progs to display properly so i can get on with my mounting workload in quark/illus/photoshop) but im thinking this is a hardware problem now, could it be some chip or card?



It's strange how both monitors have gone together.



any advice appreciated-i'm desparate.|||Hey



sounds very much like a graphic chip issue ... Mac g5...iMac or pro. if it is a pro you can add a graphic card, iMac it's new logic board time..



make sure it is first, try to get a different lead to test, see if running only one monitor effects anything.



what does profiler say?
