probably your cable between monitor and pc - try giving it a wiggle, or swap it with another

yep definitely sounds like cable. Maybe you are getting too carried away on the games?
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

I wouldnt go to PC World, except maybe if there close to buy a cheap(?) cable to try, but certainly any pc shop should if nothing else be able to try
another cable and monitor and isolate if its pc/cable/moniter thats at fault.
A vga connector (blue moniter plug) is an analogue rgb signal, so its certainly very easy to loose a colour due to a continuity error.

Bring it over johnski. I'm not doing anything today - well, nothing important anyway. Will get it sorted for you. I've probably got a
cable you can have.
