I need to determine if the graphics card is defective.

Just recently purchased a Pavilion All-In-One desk top product no. 4NM45AA#ABA  Model no. 24-xa0020. it seems like the graphics card my be defective. When I make a selection from the task bar, it highlights it in yellow. Also, when playing Micro Soft solitaire, the color of the cards white and yellow on green instead of black and red on white. In addition, I down loaded software from Autocad, and lost most of the info. in the dialogue boxes. Auto cad hasn't as yet been able to resolve the issue from their end of the issue. How do I find out if the graphics card is defective.
