is this problem my monitor?
every few days or boot ups, when my system is turned on the colors are not normal. The turqoise color of my desktop might be a shade of green, there may be streaks running left to right, etc. They seem to clear up after a short while.
Would this be the monitor in the early stages of death?

It sounds that way , How old is it ? I would grab a friends monitor and check it out on your system to be sure , but typically about 3 years maybe 4 and they start to go. If its new you can get it in for warrenty I would suggest that. If a good monitor does the same thing ..your probably looking at video card / bigger issues.

I have had it 2-3 years and it was used when I bought it, A NEC multiSync XV17, has worked good until recently.
I just looked on the bottom for the manufacture date.....drum roll please.......1995.
