If you can, can you take your card out and revert back to on-board video, or swap out your card for another known working card?

Hi, i am not sure if my graphics card has problems but i think it may, its been giving tell tale signs.
Sometimes i boot up and my screen colour is all blue.. that has happened about 2-3 times, but not that often, and another reboot usually fixes it, is that the lead or the gfx card?.
I was wondering if ram might have caused it though, on the other hand it might not because i got no blue screen.. plus ive tested the ram i have at its rated 250mhz for about 2-3 days with prime95 blend test, so i dont think its that.
i do have other problems aswell with newer drivers and java, if i use the new drivers and i go to play say runescape 2 in high detail mode the applet would freeze up almost immediately.. then i switch back to old drivers from over a year ago and that works fine, but i get bitty sound in other games then such as GTA SA.
I dont like it when problems like this occur because i have no idea what the source of the problem is, i guess the ram is eliminated from being the problem though by the looks of it.
I might be getting a newer card towards the end of this year, im not sure yet but ill see how it goes.
I know when i bought this card i found out it wasnt the model displayed on their site, and supposedly other people had problems with them at the time.. i didnt, unless the problems are showing up late? no idea.
also games like CS source have dipped to as low as 17FPS! i cant say i used to notice this either.. im sure it used to run butterly smooth, so did half life 2 + DM.. my father has a simular gfx card but his seems about the same with half life 2, so its either me noticing things late or there is a problem, and i guess with my fathers gfx card too (maybe).
