Desktop has a Bluish Tint, Problem with video card?

Our Desktop of 3 years seems to have a Display problem.



Beginning about a week ago, it began to intermittently shift between its normal coloring and an overcast blue.



I've looked up other explanations for why this is happening to it, and nearly all of them go on to answer that it is the cord or the connectors on the Monitor itself that at the problem.



I took an extra VGA cable i had and tried switching the older one for a newer cable, and the problem persisted. I suspected that the problem may be the Tower itself, so i connected it to my television to confirm. The Bluish Tint remained.



I am wondering how i would go about getting this repaired. Would i need a change of VideoCard or would it be something harder to replace? And would it be something i could simply order and install myself or would I need to take it into a shop?|||This does sound like a cable problem, but yes the other thing you can do is change your graphics card. The graphics card is easy enough to replace and install, but don't get to fussy with that old PC. You will need to get a second hand one as with some of these new ones are very expensive. Your better off buying a whole new system at some of the prices.|||If it is the video card you could go on to amazon and search for one. they are fairly cheap and easy to replace and yes you are able to do it yourself. it just slides into the slot where the old one was. In my personal experience it seems like it is a cable. check all of the prongs in the back and also check to see if your driver is updated.

You may even want to make sure your video card is all the way in it could have been bumped and knocked slightly lose cause the problem.|||Well if the tint stayed there when you plugged into the TV, it's most likely a video card problem. Most video card installs are easy to do, as you pretty much plug it into the side of your motherboard and insert the driver disc that comes with it.



If you're going to buy a new video card at Best Buy or Frys, I suggest taking a picture of the motherboard slot where your old video card used to be, that way an associate can help you find a video card that is compatible with your motherboard. Otherwise a video card that wouldn't fit would be useless.|||Vid card chart
