windows shows wrong colors

[garegin]

Hello

In non-safe mode the blue login screen is showing green and everything seems to have a white tint. I looked in intel settings, and everything  looks normal. In safe mode everything looks fine. For all you color theory nerds, what could turn blue into green.
I even tried a linux live usb to see if it's some GPU failure issue. No, everything works fine there.

I think I would still start by downloading the graphics drivers.

It's not the only driver that works normally with Linux but not in Windows - I've often come across where Network drivers will work in Linux but not otherwise.

In Safe Mode you are using the on board VGA and not the GPU, so that would point to some anomaly in Windows.

It was the intel color settings.

And yet you said they looked okay - wonder what knocked them off course ?

[garegin]

the customer did that to correct the colors of a bad LCD

I have that happen on my monitor in the house every few months and had it happen a few times on my 3rd monitor on my desk a couple of times a year.

For the one in the house it is because the cable had become lose and wasnt in all the way, so all the pins where not making a proper connection.

For my monitor on my desk nothing i did would fix it, the cables where good. I had to pull the power cord and let all the power drain (Thats the only proper way to reset hardware) once the power was drained and I plugged it back in the colors where fine. Only had to do that a few times.

So there is 2 examples of where I have seen it be the monitor. Others have also been video drivers, monitor drivers and such. When in safe mode only the basic drivers are loaded, so if their is a corrupt driver it would explain why it looks fine in safe mode as the microsoft standard driver is loaded instead.

Yes, I would say/agree with Shane the cable issues;

Also, How old is your motherboard and when did you last update your video drivers?
Stay up to date with them is hard but well worth it.

also, don't update them from some program that suggests, it will cause the problem too...
those programs base recommendations on other systems... not yours...
