    So this has been happening or a few weeks. Occassionally, when my computer would wake up from sleep my screen would show up in black & white. If I restarted it everything woiuld come back in color. Today I have not been able to get it back to color. I restart it, the initial window screens come up in color, my desktop comes up in color, but somewhere in the process of loading it goes to black & white. Anyone have any ideas?

    Go to the Nvidia Control Panel -> Adjust desktop color setting -> make sure your Digital Vibrance isn't at 0%.
