I have been super happy with my new Macbook, however, it's only two weeks old, and for some unknown reaosn when I went to power it on tonite, I get full screen video corruption. Thousands of colored lines of vertical and horizontal proportions, looks like static gone wrong. I have seen similiar things happen on PC's when they have memory or video card problems. It does not boot. It just sits there, with lines all over my screen.

I TRULY hope there's not a problem with the logic board or screen, yikes. What's going on here?! This is my second Macbook this month, as my first one got fried because my Power Adapter fried it. *sighs*

PLEASE someone help! I dont know what to do?!

Don't worry, your macbook is fine. It's a software thing, see here: http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.php?t=300464
