Click on the apple > sys. prefs. > Displays > Colors. Try and adjust those. Mine says Thousands, and Millions.

 

I'd guess that's a graphics card issue.

 

You say the issue isn't with the install DVD, and you've used that DVD with both an Intel and AMD cpu, are you sure you selecting the right kernel option when you're installing? I've found it best to not select any extra graphics patches that come with the JaS install but just install them manually.

 

Seeing as you probably haven't installed many apps or saved critical documents etc., it might be worth your while downloading one of the more recent 10.4.10 or 10.4.11 DVDs. You should be able to find them from the same source that you got the JaS DVD from.
