I have a strange issue that has been occurring ever since I bought my new EVGA 1070 FTW card.

Every few hours, the color will change a tiny bit, and is unnoticable until I am able to see darker colors on my monitor; it will have a yellowish hue. When I go into the "adjust desktop color settings" in the NVIDIA control panel and play with the Hue Slider, it fixes itself and the range of colors are back to normal with no yellow tint on the darker colors. Then, it will happen again overnight while im sleeping or randomly during the day, with or without opening an application etc.

I should note, though I don;t think this would be causing the problem, I did accidentally break off the PCI x16 little locking switch that is above the socket, the spring came out. I think I could fix it but either way, I have the card screwed in very tightly on the bracket mounts and my PC does not move.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I have never experienced this before.

Here is a Speccy if needed:

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

I figured it out, my color profiles kept switching because I am using a VGA to DVI-D converter for my graphics card and it thinks that its HDMI. I used a registry color profile fix for HDMI but it worked just fine for my VGA to DVI connection: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/523992/tip-for-nvidia-users-using-hdmi-and-getting-accurate-color-format/

I guess that Windows or my graphics card cant tell/choose exactly what im on so just doing this reghack to fix everything to the same color profile works for me.

Thanks for your suggestions!

There might be a setting that is trying to reduce the amount of blue light that your monitor emits. This would coincide with the the time of day, with the screen being the yellowest at night. It might have to do with your graphics card settings or your monitor settings.

Might be display settings selected to be automatically adjusted . Try creating custom settings which suits the display you need.
You should do that with your Display adapter as well as your monitor.You will be able to access setting for monitor from side panel or from the PC suite for monitor. Do same with Display Adapter.
Also try refreshing color profiles for your monitor.Update them or color correct it if required.
Hope this helps if you haven't tried these.
