Why has my HP Presario CQ56 Windows 7 background turned turquoise?
Whether its Chrome or MS Word or any other app, the background colour has switched from white to turquoise.
Please advise.
Thanks

Thank you Philip for your attention. Yes, that is the case and with any other app. Even the windows icons are affected with a hint of turquoise.
 
So it sounds like a display/GPU issue to me, the entire screen has a colour cast.

See if this thread helps: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/346093-33-turquoise-video-card-problem

Tip: please don't mark a reply as "Best solution" unless it actually fixes the problem & no further help is required.

When you do that, the thread is tagged as "Solved" which is not the case yet.


I've therefore deselected that post so the thread doesn't show as "Solved".

UPDATE to the earlier UPDATE (below)
Turns out that the apparent resolution of the problem resulting from the new battery was short lived. The problem is still there. Will review the suggestions provided earlier and see how far I get :(
UPDATE
At time I had requested help on the turquoise display issue, I had placed an order for a new battery for the laptop as it was completely dead. Well, the battery arrived and after replacing it, the display returned to normal white. I hope there is a rational explanation for that. Needless to say, I'm happy. Please let me know how I must close this issue. Thank you again for your attention. Best,
