Boggin:
Error between keyboard and chair back then :D

Shane:
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.

Rick:
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...

run adware removal regularly helps system maintenance, read carefully before deleting anything!
