why does my computer screen change color?

Question

every once in awhile my computer screen will change to a solid color. sometimes it is pink , orange or blue. i can still hear website but can't get out of colored screen. the only thing i can do is power off my computer. i have done system checks, virus checks ... nothing, everything is good. my computer runs great otherwise. does anyone know what this could be... i have a hp pavillion notebook

Update:

Causes for changing monitor colors: 1) Something inside your computer is loose [make sure none of the cards, cables, and screws are loose]. 2) Your video card needs to be replaced. 3) Software incompatibility [new software is incompatible with old software: downloads or from discs] 4) Virus/ virii [this is the correct spelling of "virus" from Latin, not "viruses."] 5) Your monitor needs to be replaced? 6) It could be some cause(s) other than what's listed above.

couple things listed in order of mostly likely to least likely:
1. Pinched VGA cable, try swapping it out.
2. Monitor is going bad, not likely though monitors usually display wierd stuff on the screen, not solid colors
3. Video Card is going bad, not likely either because video cards will usually put nothing on the screen if going bad.

I'm no geek, but if you go to start @ bottom left,click, go to settings, click, go to monitor,click appearence, then background.
 Select choice color, click APPLY, that should lock in your choice, and should not randomly change your background.
   As a second thought,check and see if your CPU recognizes the monitor your using.By the way, my T.C#PC013
                                            Good Luck, Rick
