That sounds peripherally similar to a behavior I've occasionally seen; I
haven't seen the pink screen, but I *have* seen the monitor wake up to a
state of producing a "fuzzy" or "blurry" display. As with what you
describe, the behavior persists until the monitor is power-cycled, and
clears after that (until the next time).

I've always interpreted that as being an issue with the monitor, not
with the GPU or with the controlling software. If that's correct, and
the issue you're seeing is of the same type, then the exact model of the
monitor you're seeing the pink screen with would probably be relevant.

(I don't remember offhand whether the behavior I'm describing was seen
with my current monitor or with a previous one, so I can't provide the
exact model for my own case either, although I can state that both
candidates are Dell units.)
