I turned my pc on today and what suppost to be the color red is now black ive tried changing settings and contrast color etc... nothing worked any suggestions on what i can do to try to fix this?

Any changes yesterday? New software? Hardware?

Trying a System Restore is a good first step.

Start/Run/ %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

Where did you try to change settings? In XP or on the monitor?

Ive changed the settings in xp and the monitor im trying a system restore right now to see if that works post result when finished

Ok the system restore did not work no i did not do any changes no new software and no new hardware i cant figure out whats wrong

Is the only issue that what should be red is black?

Any other problems? Do you see any RED at all?

Have you checked the Device Manager?

Have you checked Control Panel | Display?

Have you checked DXDIAG?
Start/Run/ dxdiag | Display

What is the make & model of the computer? Is it old?

What is the make & model of the Graphics Card?

What is the make & model of the monitor?

Do you have another montior that you can try?

When i was trying to fix my last problem with the color red being black (No color red can be seen on pc) i was told to go to start>run>dxdaig it loads then it reboots my computer. It also reboots when i try to watch streaming video from the internet. I was also told to update my bios but i have no clue how to.

Ive got this message after the reboot i doubt it will help tho
