I dont know how it happened. But i am getting purple fringing on fonts on my Samsung Syncmaster 940BW monitor. Its a LCD 19" Wide Screen.
Purple fringing as in the fonts have a very certain and visible purple ghosting, a purple glow. I knw this is shld happen in a LCD monitor but not this much! Its almost everywhere. No matter the size of the font or its shape, the purple glow is everywhere. Here is an example of how it looks like on notepad:

It was never like this before. The black text appears purple after a while, the fonts are washed out because of the purple glow.
At first i thought it was my monitor but then i plugged in a Benq 19" which works fine on another computer and i got the same results over here! Now i am in confusion, is it my DVI cable? or My graphic card or wat? Its certainly not windows because i have just formatted because of this.
Please help me out here! Its horribly annoying to surf the net!
My Pc specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 3200
Albatron K8SLi NF4
1GB OCz @2-2-2-5
Creative Audigy2 ZS
Zalman 5.1 Headphones
Ati 1900XT Crossfire
80GB Segate SATA-II 2MB
Enermax 535W PSU
Edit: Oh and yes, i have tried re-installing my gfx card drivers. No luck. Even downgraded from 7.1 to 6.12.
