MACbook White Screen of Death! (Oh no!)

[changethegame]

Has anyone else gotten the white screen of death on their MAC? followed 30 seconds later by the folder with the question mark? What's the best, most cost efficient way to handle this? Thanks for the help...

Is it really that hard to google for an answer?
