video problem???

[I3eXa]

Ok, I just bought my first mac, it's a macbook 1.83Ghz white, yada yada yada. It's 2 days old and I had it up just sitting there and the screen all of a sudden went to like 16colors or something. I tried rebooting, changing resolution and colors and then back, but it won't go away. Is it a driver or hardware??? I've done all updates except the most recent os x update which I'm about to do. Any help please???

What happens if you create a new user and logging into that account?
(This is to make sure it isn't some pref or user setting that is causing the problem)

I just ended up doing a wipe and reload and so far so good.

Ah, ok.

Let's hope the problem won't come back.

Yeah, I'm hopin it doesn't come back either. Is this a common problem with macbooks????I figured since this one is brand new they would have figured out all the kinks by now....
