Computer monitor turns purple(is)/blue(ish) tint after Sleep/Wake and after Gaming

While using my PC, Windows 7 64-bit, I have no issues.  Only when I log off a game or wake the PC from sleep mode does it turn a nasty bluish/purple tint requiring a "reset" in the ICC profile Color Managment system.  So I figured this might to have something to do with my ICC Profiles because when I uncheck and recheck the "Use my settings for this device" the computer monitor resets itself back to a normal appearance.  What is conflicting?  Device is set to:  Display 1: Generic PnP Monitor - AMD Radeon R9 200 Series.  The only other option is the Display 2: Generic PnP Monitor Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600.  In the ICC profiles, I keep selecting Generic PnP Monitor but the drop-down menu has alternate profiles to include sRGB IEC61966-2.1.  Am I using the wrong configuration?  Is something overriding my settings?  This is seriously annoying.  I never had this issue with my previous monitor but I am now using a Vizeo M43C1.  It's an amazing display.  Just this annoying conflict that I cannot find any resolution to.  is there something in my Windows Registry or System Settings?  Or, what should my Color Management System be set to for Windows 7 64-bit.  Thanks in advance.

    Issue Resolved!!  Okay.  So I was just screwing around with ICC Profiles in Color Management and discovered this:  Right Click anywhere on the Desktop > Personalize > Display > Adjust Resolution and you will come to the Change the appearance of your displays.  Under the "Multiple displays" dropdown menu, it was selected as "Extend these displays."  Not knowing what that really meant (possibly a second monitor), I deselected that and selected "Show desktop only on 1" and hit OK.  In the Advanced Settings > Color Managment > Color Management, my Device is set to Display 1: Generic PnP Monitor - AMD Radeon R9 200 Series with the "Use my settings for this device" CHECKED and my ICC Profile is set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1.  I shut my monitor off and back on TWICE and put it into Sleep mode and woke it back it up and the color is NOT AFFECTED ANYMORE!!  NO PURPLE/BLUEISH TINT!!  So I am wondering if this error was simply corrected by removing the ability of Multiple Displays to be visible.  So essentially, change EXTEND THESE DISPLAYS to SHOW DESKTOP ONLY ON 1.  This worked for me.  Please close this issue.  Issue resolved!!
