220 volts through my monitors ground plug!

The was a broken plug in the socket and the power cord to my monitor, the ground plug hit it and sparked!

The result, I have a dark green screen, the rest of the computer seems to work fine. Menu button on my monitor, when that pops up it has all the proper colors.

What I have, cheap Dell 3100 Dimension, with integrated video card.

How to fix?
Can it be fixed?
Would a video card (for PCI Express x1) actual fix the problem?

Any info would be helpful!

System specs
Test the monitor on another computer. If it works normally, get the new video card
