I remember my brothers monitor had a bad cable crimp near the back of it, sort of turned desktop colors pink/blue if you wiggled the cable it would re-connect itself enough to display normal colors, but I don't think I've been able to fix a green post screen. Different display modes such as 2d desktop, 2d vesa vga 800x600 or 640x480 for BIOS post and 3d modes have different refresh rates that the monitor needs to switch to automatically, so when there are artifacts when it switches modes, it's usually an issue with the monitor refresh rate. Since you're having trouble in both modes the graphics card or monitor may be defective or not using a compatible refresh rate.
