Yesterday I reinstalled Windows 10. Everything is fine. I go on Hulu, and on full screen, all the colors are way off. I have a EVGA GTX 970 SSC 2.0. I tried Counter Strike: GO today, and the initial options screen is showing bright red colors. All my drivers are up to date. I don't know what is going on. I was thinking about reinstalling Windows again, but first I wanted to ask this community because you guys really helped me out A LOT in the past.

Yeah if a screenshot is normal, it means the problem is external to the PC. Cable issue or monitor issue. Check the cable first. If that doesn't fix it then reset the monitor. Sounds like the cable is damaged or not seated all the way.

THIS IS REALLY WEIRD! When I take a screen shot, the picture looks extremely normal. In game is a totally different story. Double Characters, bright red warped scenery. Incredible...

I highly doubt it is a cable issue, because it was just working before I reinstalled Windows 10. I have an Acer XB271HU and I will reset it and see if it helps. I will still post that picture in a few. Thanks for your help!!!

you are the best bro. I reset my monitor and back to normal. Thank you. I am studying for an A+ certification. I hope to be as intelligent as you are one day. I have another question, but it is not on topic. I have a Corsair CX650M. I heard it is really low caliber. I am still within the 30 day return policy from Microcenter. I should really get a Gold standard power supply right? I have a Gigabyte Gaming 5 Z170X motherboard; i5 6600k; GTX 970; Samsung SSD 500 GB; Western Digital Black; Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000 16 GB 8 by 2... I don't think this power supply will last that long. I am trying to learn about capacitors and how they differ.
