So, about a day ago, I got up from my pc to go to the kitchen, and come back to find my first monitor screen completely green, and the other monitor completely yellow, so i thought my pc had crashed or something like that so I shut my pc off and turned it back on and now I get absolutely nothing, every time I try to turn the monitors on they say no signal and shut back off, but my pc still boots up as normal, I first thought it was a mother board problem so I bought a new one but i still get the same results, everything within my pc starts as normal, nothing seems to be off, I just want to know what is causing this to happen. Does anyone know what to Do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I would first try a different cable on both monitors. If you are using a vga connector sometimes it can be nudged a little and it will cause odd coloring on the screen. If not try a different port on your mobo/graphics card.
 
I've tried all of these things, I even tried my old mo bo and cpu , and same results, at this point in starting to think it's a psu problem, because it's the only other thing that could cause this other than my gpu, and it can't be that, I just got a gtx 1060 a few months ago.
 
I haven't heard of a power supply ever causing graphics issues. The only time that would be the case if the power supply is about to go bad and is not supplying the graphics card with the correct amount of power. You can test your power supply with a power supply tester or paper clip method. I really recommend swapping the graphics card with another one to rule out the graphics card as a suspect.

When testing your computer make sure it only has the bare essentials to run(cpu, ram, and gpu).
 
I ended up finding out the problem was that one of my ram sticks died on me, so I took it out and everything's back up and running. Thanks to those that tried to help tho
