Yesterday was like any other day, everything fine. On the evening i reboot the computer as i re-installed some hardware (USB) and when we got to the bios screen it was yellow writing. Rebooted a couple of times at it was still yellow. infact everything has a yellow tinge till the drivers are loaded.
Worse still, today everything is red. WTF is going on?? Anybody had this before??

Just had a look and its tightly screwed and i cant see anything else wrong.
All seems to be well again now though. Booted several times and all is fine.

If it comes back... maybe your monitor cable is on its way out... or dvi dongle if you use one...
