You probably have a bad cable or a bad connection.

Make sure that all your video cables have a secure connection. If that doesn't work, replace each cable with a new one.

If you use the component outputs and have the connections mixed up, the picture will come out black and white. Not sure if you are using the component output, but that's the only thing I could think of.
