 Screen has blue tint - monitor problem ruled out My computer's screen has a blue tint to it, i.e., the color red isn't being displayed. I've got a NVIDIA GeForce 6100 built into an EMachines computer. It doesn't seem to be the monitor: -I tried re-inserting the monitor's cable, checking for bent pins, and then trying a new cable - didn't work -I hooked a new monitor up to the computer, it had the blue tint as well -The monitor's built in menu to fiddle with the settings displays colors properly I've tried this so far: -I opened the case, cleaned it out, and looked for any glaring problems - didn't work -In the device manager I disabled the NVIDIA 6100 Driver, the blue tint remains -I installed new video drivers - didn't work either Any ideas? Could it be the connector where the video cable plugs in on the computer? How do you check that?      |

| Have you got another video card to try out? or your motherboard may have onboard video, just so you can try a different video source. |

| Is it possible that a pin is dirty or something? It really does sound like the symptom of the PC-to-monitor being plugged in slightly askew.

| I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! Same setup, eMachines Desktop w/ Nvidia 6100. Just now, heard like a bug flying around, then it turned blue. I have Vista. I'm going to try contacting eMachines Troubleshooting. Hopefully Acer didn't destroy that when they took over. |

| I found the cure. On your monitor (I have the stock 17" eMachines LCD), press the Menu button (On right side) and go down to 'Reset'. I did that and it went away. Hopefully it doesn't come back. I must add that before I pushed reset, I fiddled around with the color, making red, blue, and green all at 50. |
