On some monitors (CRT) the video cable is permanently attached to the monitor.
Could be a bent pin (If it has been off recently) or similar.
usually if a video changes color suddenly (CRT) it is one of the
color guns going bad.
LCD's when they go bad simply get darker and then don't work. (I
should know having experienced it recently.)

Careful swapping will narrow the problem down. If he disconnects the
cable at the back of the monitor and puts another monitor right there,
and if it looks good, then it's a bad monitor. If it's still green, it
may be the video card. Or his video control panel (the Nvidia control
panel allows you to adjust each color separately; people with kids
might find their colors way off).
