Smooth Shade issues

Freshly installed Maya 8.5 on a brand new Intel Mac. For some reason Smooth Shade doesn't work whenever I enable it. It is like it can't read or understand my video card. It can't decide how it wants to display my scene. Sometimes all the shapes are pure black and sometimes all white, and all sorts of other colours. Definately not what it should be. This keeps changing as you select different objects or navigate the camera around the scene.

My video card should work, it is not fantastic but here is the specs

Intel GMA 950:

Chipset Model: GMA 950
Type: Display
Bus: Built-In
VRAM (Total): 64 MB of shared system memory
Vendor: Intel (0x8086)
Device ID: 0x27a2
Revision ID: 0x0003

Perhaps there is something wrong with my Mac? I know it works on other Macs because that is what I use in class at Uni...

Has anyone else seen this problem?
