Computer Problem

This morning when I turned it on, all I get is blue shaded graphics.
Imagine a black and white monitor, only with blue.

Is the video card suspect or is there a setting I can change?

P/C machine.

Re-seat video card (if not integrated) and try again. Also try in safe mode, although I don't think it would be corrupted drivers. If it still persists, get a new video card, or depending on age of machine, whole new box.

Loose video cable?

Found the problem right after my post.

I didn't have the monitor cable attached securely with the thumb screws on the back of the computer. My little cat decided to work on it for me in the night.
