Might be a loose cable, check the cable into the monitor and make sure it's tight at both ends.

Gone back to normal now but it keeps happening randomly

if its not a loose cable then it could be the monitor on the blink. Flat screen or not??

its the stepdaughters old Computer..Advent or something,one problem after the other with it

When I used to work in IT support the most common cause for this was a loose or faulty cable.
The picutre on the monitor screen is made up of three different colours, if one of those colours isn't getting through properly (due to a dodgy connection), it can give the screen a tint, such as pink.
So I'd make sure the cable is tightly screwed in, and if it is and is still causing problems I'd check it for loose or bent pins. If you have access to a different cable, try that instead.
Then if that doesn't work I'd try plugging a different monitor into the PC, and the monitor into a different PC, to determine if it's a fault in the monitor or in the graphics card.

Do what Webbo is suggesting to determine the fault but I'm assuming youve made sure the cable is secured? and that its not been moved or unplugged recently to have bent the pins?

if its not been moved or taken to bits recently and the cable is secured I would think its most likely to be the monitors transitor on the blink.

Would that explain it being ok sometimes then ?

Could do, its unlikely your grafix card would flicker between being fine and then pink, possible but unlikely. If youve checked the cabling my money is on the monitor, one day soon it will stay pink. As Webbo said either the green or blue hue has gone/is going.

If thats problem yes, unless you like a pink screen? :icon_wink

You can pick up a 15 inch TFT screen very cheaply these days.

Very cheap meaning? Will I have to break into another five pound note:icon_sad:

 

[Durham Fox]

Youll get 17 inches for under £100. I know youve paid a lot more than that for similar in the past :icon_wink
