I have just upgraded my HTPC to Windows 7 and moved the components of my HTPC to a new case - Silverstone GD04

My HTPC Spec:

Intel E6420 Core2Duo
Abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD Motherboard
4GB GeIL DDR 2 RAM (4x1GB) - 2GB of which has just been added from old system
LG Bluray/HDDVD ROM Drive
XFX ATi 5670 Graphics Card - Brand New
Corsair 450W HX PSU - Brand New

The PC started up perfectly first time after the rebuild and the fresh install of Windows 7 went smoothly. The machine is connected to my monitor via HDMI.


The Problem
When the PC first started up the POST and BIOS screens were the correct colours, bios screen is red like the picture below. After the install of Windows 7 and drivers etc the post screen is now pink and the POST screens including the Windows 7 loading screen is now GREEN oddly though all the colours in Windows are not affected.

All my temperatures on CPU are ok according to CoreTemp. I have made sure the HDMI cable is in securely.

What could be the problem?
 
Well it's fixed! :D

Turns out when I loaded the ATi Catalyst drivers it altered the HDMI output settings for my monitor, switched the settings back and everything is working perfectly again.
