Hopefully that's all it was. So far, so good. I would generally assume that poorly seated hardware just wouldn't work. That's why I didn't even think to check that.

Poorly seated hardware isn't a binary issue. Think static sparks instead on some of the connections creating intermittent contact. Some pins/traces may connect and provide just enough power/logic to let a device appear to operate while some other pins/traces aren't functioning at spec. Your video card may not have had enough power or logic signals for that one area of the screen display/color. Almost the same thing can happen if the monitor's cable isn't seated properly in the video card. I was going to suggest checking that just before you reseated your card. Stan
