video card make normal screen turn to pink screen

[Cari \(MS-MVP\)]

If it's only a couple of months old, surely it's under guarantee? Contact
the store you purchased it from or the manufacturer of the card and have it
replaced.

It seems that you have two problems.

A bad video card.
A mfr that will not blindly exchange it. But will exchange or repair it if
you send it in.

What is it that you need help with that someone can provide thru this
newsgroup?
