Remove the computer's side casing. Make sure the computer is unplugged from the wall first! Unscrew the little screw holding the card in place. Disconnect the small power cable from the power supply to the card. It may not have this little cable, some cards don't require one. Now gently wiggle the card as you pull it out of the slot it sits in on the motherboard.
Take the new video card and pop it in place on the motherboard, connect the little power cable if it has one, to the power supply. Screw the little screw in gently and close the side cover. Now plug the computer in and when you boot up, the first thing to do is to install the latest drivers. Some new cards come with a driver CD or DVD. I would not bother with the disk. It is likely outdated anyway. Go right to the manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers.
Good luck. ;)

How do you troubleshoot video adapter card?
The simplest way is to see if you get video out of it. If you get video when you are running Windows, but not when you start up a video game, then the GPU is dead. If you don't get video at all, try another monitor, and of course try all the outputs from the video card -- most modern video cards have two or three. If there are strange video artifacts while playing video games, quite possibly the GPU is failing if it hasn't completely failed yet. Because video cards cannot be easily repaired, a simple go / no go is the best you can expect from any sort of troubleshooting; and if the video coming out of it is bad, the only recourse is to replace the card.

Could a bad video card cause computer to freeze?
yes
What should you do when PC crashes and you get numerous coloured vertical lines on the screen?
This usually indicates an overheating or damaged video card. With the computer turned off & unplugged, open it up, find your video card (it will be the one with the jack you plug the monitor into, assuming you don't have on-board video) and blow out any dust or debris clogging up the heatsink & fan. Also check to make sure the fan can turn freely, if theres any friction in it, the fan has gone bad and needs replacing. If the heatsink & fan are fine, & it still does this you've probably got a bad video card. You will have to replace it.

I'd like to run a Windows XP virtual machine inside Windows server 2008 and want high end graphics card for CAD GIS and gaming.?
Well that's simply too bad. Virtual machines are very limited in their ability to emulate a hardware accelerated video card. Even if they could, the performance would be so abysmal it wouldn't be worth it.
