Default Color Change on One Monitor

Hi! I'm running an ATI Radeon X600 Pro video card. It's over a year old, but I haven't used the computer very much---I use another one primarily. All of a sudden, when I boot the computer, the splash screen has a reddish purple tint, and windows retains this color after it boots. I have been using this conputer lately in addition to the primary one, but I've been using the same monitor for both computers---switching the connection to the computer I'm using at that particular time. I'm not hot-switching---I connect the monitor when the computer is turned off. I can connect the computer with the color problem to another monitor, and there is no issue---it works fine. The first monitor has no problems connected to other computers. The X600 computer has no problems connected to another monitor. The monitor that suddenly has a problem is a dell d1226h 19", at 60 hz. Any ideas as to what is occurring? I haven't added any programs or any other hardware, Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Default Color Change on One Monitor

The discolouration may be due to a magnetic field being close to the monitor ie speakers, try moving your speakers if they are close to the monitor and the press menu on your monitor and clicking deguass. If that don't work then my guess is your monitor is on its way out
