This could be caused by Chroma Key Effect which combines two color sources
replacing all the pixels of the first source that are the specified color
with the corresponding pixels of the second source. This allows the second
source to "show through" the first in those places where the first source is
the given color. This usually results in a "pink screen".
There should be a VGA-VIO "jumper cable" (overlaying of the video Codac and
the VGA card). If the cable is not securely attached or static builds up on
the connection, it will create a pink screen. Shut down the system remove
the VGA cable, and clean the connections. This should correct the problem.
There is still the possibility that the VGA board or cable is bad. It is
also possible that the monitor is failing.
There is a trouble shooting guide (for ATI Wonder cards) here:
