Default Color setting changes automatically?!?!?!?!?!

Okay my girlfriends computer keeps changing the color settings. It goes from like normal color(32 bit) to 24bit color or even lower. I've seen it go as low as 4bit I think. We don't know what causes it to just change like that but any help and suggestions on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

I think its just integrated graphics so I have no clue, and I'm not sure of drivers.

then you'll probably just have to identify it. its probably not an onboard. once u identify it. go to its manufacture website and see if its driver is up to date.
