My monitor LG keeps changing colour - seemingly randomly. It may start off ok but after - say 10 minutes it will become tinged with blue and at other times an organy tint. it will then return to its proper colour. I have changed the monitor 3 times so I think the problem lies elsewhere, I have changed the video card and finally bought a new power supply - no luck with any of the above.
Any ideas would be welcome

The problem Lies in either the Monitor or the Video Card and you say you've replaced both. I would suggest reinstalling the drivers for you video card and update them if ther is a update availible. I can't see the Problem being in your motherboard.
Unless you have a wierd setting in your Bios. Check in there to be sure.

Do you have any strong magnetic sources next to the monitor?

Speakers? Motors of some kind?

Those would do that.

Same advice, but also watch for fluorescent (or phosphorescent?) tubes in the vicinity, even the small circular ones.

We had to replace 5 monitors to learn this lesson.

Can also be bad RGB drive transistors on the Monitors CRT board.
