Definitely listen to the other responders. They are more 
knowledgeable than I am in this area.

To check out your on-board video card, use a Live CD [1] and let 
it boot into Gnome. If it won't, then you *might* have a bad 
video card.

[1] Such as: Ubuntu, Mepis, or Debian Live which is available 
here: http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/
