If your Monitor has a "Menu" button, then goto the menu & select, th e "Temperature" & set it to "9300". Or just activate the "DEFAULT" settings.

Try using other's (friend's) monitor on your PC.

This way you can find out which one is the culprit - your Monitor or Gfx. Drivers.

In CRT monitors, there are three cathods (Red, Green, Blue) which emits electrons to produce the color picture. If one of them is not active then that colour will not be present. I think the red cathod in your monitor is not getting the signal probably due to dry-soldering. Consult any serviceman in your area to repair the monitor for you. It is a simple fault and can be repaired easily...

No, not at all. This is due to frequent switching on/off of any electronic device...
