    A couple of days ago I did a fresh install of Vista Home Premium on my laptop but im having a few problems since the install.

    The first day or two, everything was fine but today my screen suddenly turned a weird bright green colour and now has coloured noise all over my screen.The white background on web pages has turned pink and any videos or images I look at seem to have turned see-through a little bit.

    I switched it off a couple hours and it booted ok, but within minutes the screen turned bright green again and everytime I reboot since, the screen is green/pink again.

    I've attached a screenshot to try and show what I mean so I hope it works ok. any help would be much appreciated because I dont want to do another installation of Vista again, just yet if it can be avoided..

    Thanks!

    have you tried to hook the laptop to a external monitor (either trough s-video or the other standard ports) to see if the gfx card may have gone foobar. If the pics are okay there, then it very well my be that the connection between your monitor and the motherboard is broken.
