half of my computer screen is green, but only once windows is loaded. While my computer is booting up, everything is normal. The start menu and taskbar cannot be seen, but the start menu can be accessed by clicking on the giant green space.

Hello, my guess is you’re using a CRT monitor. With most problems dealing with color, it’s a pin problem. I believe you have a bent or fried pin on the cable from your monitor to your tower. If the cable can be replace by itself that is going to be your cheapest and best bet. If the cable does not detach from the monitor, you’re more than likely going to replace the monitor.
