need some videocard help

hey if someone could help me with this id appreciate it. i have a voodoo 3 2000 pci, and well, its only displaying blue and yellow based colors. when i go into the display settings, i have it set to
high 16 bit but on the color scale it shows blue yellow black white blue yellow black, etc. i dont know whats wrong with it and i cant think of anything that i would have done to make it do this. but basically, the screen is odd looking because its a tint of blue now and i dont know how it got like that, last night i went to bed and when i woke up today it was like this. i know it has to be the card for sure, because when i shut down, even the windows startup screen and any other startup screens have this tint to it. ive had this card for a few years now too, never had a problem with it before now. well for any help i can get, thanks.

It could be the monitor. Try your monitor on another system, try another monitor on your system. Reseat the monitor cable, reseat the video card.

Yup, monitor did that to me after my place got hit by lightning. It then returned to normal.

Try another monitor. Make sure no magnets are near your monitor. Many subs are not shielded. Putting mine near my monitor also messed it up. Glad it has survived both these mistakes LOL!
