check the monitors and sound cp and look at gamma correction is it on page white? that woudl cause the yellow tint toothe monitor mabey. regards, patratto> I have had similar color shifting problems in the past. The first and most affordable thing I would do is try replacing the monitor's data cable. A cracked fiber inside can cause this. It couls also be a cracked solder connection in the connector. You can usually tell this one by jiggling the connector gently. If another monitor is available, try it with this computer to rule out the internal video, then you know whether it is the video card inside the computer, or the monitor itself.
