Green tint on monitor

[BlasphemousMusic]

Before its said, I looked thru almost all threads for the answer and didnt find one.

I was giving my older PC to my dad. I hooked it up to my tv, cleaned it off, everything worked fine. Took it to my dads house, put it on his monitor and it went all green. From the Dell bios to when it was on.

The GPU is an evga geforce 960 ftw. The monitor is an acer x223w. I used a vga cord, used an adapter on the GPU end and plugged into the vga on the monitor end.

the monitor has 2 plug ins. One vga, one DVI-D. I do not have a cable or an adapter for the dvi-d. I tried another vga cable, same thing. Tried another dvi adapter on the GPU, same thing. Tried montior settings, nothing. The monitor would not switch to digital when I checked it, but not sure if thats it.

I also updated drivers and took out the GPU and reseated it, replugged it in, no avail.

Could the cable from monitor vga to gpu dvi not be giving the right signal for colors? Please help!!!

Worked fine on your TV, not working on your dad's old monitor even after trying different cables, sounds like a defective monitor to me. Try a different source and/or different monitor/TV to confirm.

The tv was hooked up with an hdmi to hdmi. Could that make a difference?

Im reading about DVi-D and DVI-I and VGA stuff. I did just find a DVI-D single link to HDMI cord in my junk drawer but cant go over there tonight to check.

But I read that VGA to DVI input cannot get the RGB without an adapter, to which only the end to the GPU has.

DVI-I = DVI Integrated, digital + analog in one connector, the analog signals are on the four pins around the cross-shaped shields on one side of the connector, only needs a passive plug adapter.
DVI-D = DVI Digital, no analog, needs an active converter if you want analog out of it.
