Monitor text colour on boot is magenta instead of white

Today I had occasion to change location of my computer and its
peripherals including the monitor. When I turned it after the change
on the colour of the text which scrolls up the screen was magenta
instead of white. This magenta instead of white persists when the
operating system (Squeeze) is loaded. The result is a reddish hue to
everything which then appears on the monitor.
The mainboard I am using is a Foxconn 45CM-S with a built in VGA
graphics card. The monitor is an ACER AL2216W LCD with 16080x1050
resolution.
I checked carefully all the connections between the computer and the
peripherals, and I am reasonably certain that I got them all right.
Since the magenta colour appears when the computer is first turned on
and also when the BIOS is opened I assumed that there must be a way to
adjust it somewhere in the BIOS, but I could not find where.
Neither did there appear to be a way to change the this colour in any
of the KDE settings, not that I expected to find such a way because
the magenta appears immediately on boot before the operating system is
installed. A Google research returned no useful information.
Can anybody advise me what went wrong and how to fix it?
Regards, Ken Heard
