Colour Display Problem: No Red

A problem has recently occured with my display. The screen is tinted greeny-blue and all red is appearing as black. I know that it isn't my monitor, because I have used a different monitor and still have the same problem. I also know that it is not my graphics card drivers because I have re-installed them. And it isn't my graphics card because I tried an old GFX card and had the same problem. I am lost as to the cause or solution to the problem.

Oh, and this problem happened as I was taking the power cable out of my printer around the back of my computer and when I next looked at the screen, everything was a different colour :( .

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Have you any way of testing to see if its the motherboard? Sounds grim!

I have no idea how to test, that's why I came looking for help. It isn't really a huge trouble though, I can still play games and surf the internet. Only problem is that I use this computer to do some graphic design, and with all red appearing as black, I'm stuck :confused:. I'm about to re-install a set of motherboard drivers from their site. The motherboard is an Asrock P4V88 in case that helps anyone help me.
 
I just mean to plug all your components into another motherboard and see if you still have a problem. It would mean having a spare motherboard, not the usual spare part I know!

Actually, I do have a spare motherboard, quite a few since I never throw anything away. Doesn't matter though, I started playing an old black and white game and when I exitted it, everything was normal again. Thanks anyway.

EDIT: Whoops, turns out it's not entirely back to normal, there's still a slight blue tint to everything and the reds, though more red, still look a little brown, guess it'll go away itself, whatever it is.
 
Turns out it was the monitor cable I was using, it's fixed now, I used the cable from another computer, now I just have to get a new one for that computer, thanks for all of your suggesions though, they gave me a few hours of fun.
