Well, white is 100% red, 100% blue and 100% green, so that's not too
surprising. ;)

Wiggle your monitor cable, make sure your card is seated properly, take
anything that may be causing electromagnetic interference away (yes, that
means your box too), and finally, plug someone else's monitor in.

Sadly, it sounds like a monitor problem to me. Similar thing happened with
my old Osborne monitor (yes! my first 386 was an Osborne - with SCSI of all
things...)
