Good troubleshooting from and nice follow-up from . A solid green cast is usually an electrical issue on the video link: when one or two RGB channels are lost or shorted the remaining channel dominates the image. That behavior is typical of analog connectors (VGA/D-sub) when a pin is bent, broken, or not making good contact.

Practical, safe checks to do next time:

  1. Power down and unplug before touching anything. Visually inspect the connector for bent or pushed-in pins; if a pin is slightly bent it can sometimes be straightened carefully with fine tweezers, but replacement is safer and cheaper than forcing it.
  2. Swap the cable with a known-good cable or try a different input type (DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort) to isolate cable vs. graphics board vs. monitor.
  3. Capture a screenshot or connect via remote desktop: if the captured image looks normal but the monitor shows green, the fault is between the PC and screen (cable/connector/monitor). If the screenshot is green, the GPU or driver is outputting the wrong colors.
  4. Only after hardware checks, update or roll back the video driver if needed.

Prevention: use cables with thumbscrews or secure connectors, avoid strain on the plug, and consider digital connections where possible. For background on the connector and color channels see VGA connector and RGB color model.

Make sure the cables are secure. This is the usual case if the screen has gone green. If not then you should try to update the video care driver.
