This is not a place to text message, you need to use full sentences and punctuation.

Avoid making it seem like your copy of Windows is illegal even if it isn't or no one will help.

Your information is not clear and not full. Be hopeful that you only need the correct drivers, you may have bad parts though.

How bad is the color issue?
How long does it last?


What are you formatting for?
Did you use the computer before formatting and did it have this problem before you formatted the first time?


Which version Windows do you have? XP, Vista, 7
Is it 64bit Windows?


Right click "[My] Computer" and click properties to find out...

Make your way to the "Control Panel" and open "System" Look for "Device Manager" and click it. You should see a list, look for a yellow question mark or exclamation mark, you may have to click the arrows to see everything.
If you see one, name what it is next to in your reply.


Knowing what your graphics card and motherboard may help too
