My computer's Colors are Corrupt.

Hey, I need help. I was using my computer in the morning before I left for school yesterday, and everything was fine. I left and didn't come back until late that night. I turn on my Computer and I realize my computer will only display 4 colors: Blue, Yellow, Black and white. I have been trying to fix it, trying to figure out whats wrong, and I am having no luck. Im using a ATI Radeon 7000 series video card. I also checked to see maybe if it jsut was my monitor, but my monitor's settings menu has full color. When i unplug it and it gives me the "No signal" message, it has all the colors. So it has to be something on my computer. If no one knows whats wrong, my last guess is to just format. But I also tried to reinstall the drivers again, but no luck. If anyone can help, that'd be great. Thanks for your time.

Sure your monitor works with build it test ,, but have you forgot about the cable that goes from your monitor to the computer,, I had to through away a 15 inch monitor because the cable was messed up and I was getting two colors at a time, and I did not bother fixing it becasue I wanted a 19" ,, I don't think formating your hard drive will fix the problem if you already have installed the correct Video Driver / Monitor Driver,, just connect you PC to another monitor before you anything else

also, if you have a good Restore point, try System Restore.

I bet the card is toast.
