Default Main display problem

After 3000 miles, had a display problem today for the first time. Doing about 60 mph, the main display started flashing on and off rapidly and the icons on display started rapidly scrolling up and down. After exiting the highway, reduced speed and the display returned to normal. Spoke to a dealers repair dept and was told that there was a new flash of software available. Anyone have this problem? Got my c7 in December. Any way to tell if I have an old software version. Hate to bring it in with an intermittent problem. They never find the cause unless it happens when in the repair shop.
Thanks

Btw this was the center display-not the display over the steering wheel.

Let them load up the most recent software, it's going to be a work in progress as Chevy works out the bugs from the system (just like any other new computer program).
