First check the video cable connection. Power Macintosh computers with a monitor attached to the built in video port (HDI-45), the cable must be seated correctly. This is very important when you use the Power Macintosh Display Adapter. The Power Macintosh Display Adapter allows a standard DB-15 video connector to attach to the HDI-45 port on the computer.
If the colors displayed on your monitor are not correct, follow these steps:
1) Make appropriate monitor adjustments
2) Reseat the cable
3) Replace the Power Macintosh Display Adapter
4) Try another monitor
These steps should help isolate the problem.
