I built a pc like 3 months ago, had some problems installing the gpu to case and mobo. after i installed the gpu, screwholes on the back of the gpu didnt match the ones on the pc case so i had to open new holes on the back of the case to install the gpu.
but its been working fine for weeks so i didnt think there was any problem. then i started to see distorted, purplish color on startup which stays there after i login. here is a photo:

it doesnt happen all the time, it started to happen after i used the pc for a couple of weeks and when it happens, it goes away on its own or when its restarted. sometimes its not purple, its red, pink etc. and the last time it happened, it happened after a freeze. pc froze for like a minute and i couldnt even move the mouse so i had to restart, on the login screen, i saw the colors again. i thought it was about the gpu driver and i tried to reinstall it and this happened :

screen turned green this time.
after this happened, i realised there was another problem. when i push the power button on the monitor, i see a flat green screen for a split second right before i see the desktop screen.
after that happened, i took the pc case to a guy i know at the office i work who are responsible of the work laptops and stuff. he said they connected the pc to a monitor and kept it open for hours on idle without any signs of the problem. so i took the pc to my house and connected it to the monitor, the purple screen thing didnt happen but flat green screen problem was still there. i tried changing the hdmi cable but no luck.
i connected the pc to a tv and been using it like that for a while without those problems and i started to think it was about the monitor but i have doubts since i experienced these problems right after a freeze and this color problem isn't visible on bios and windows loading screens.
i want to be sure which part of the pc is the problem so i can replace it but cant be sure since the problem is not constant, it happens sometimes but not always and it never happened on tv screen.
thanks for your help.
