How long (on average) do GeForce graphics cards last?

Okay, so I have an NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GS card in my ultra-new laptop, and I've been playing RunesCape (The online game) for a few weeks (not exactly an ardous task for the card). How long will the card last with an average graphics game? Also, if my screen is starting to get faint black lines crawling up the screen, what does that mean? Is the card dying?

Last of all, does a Blu-Ray disc or DVD use the graphics card while playing?

Thank you guys. but why is it underpowered? Is Radeon better?thequietguy

Its underpowered cause this card/chip was not designed for gaming. It was designed for video playback of Blu-ray/high def stuff, photos and crap like that. More for the use of like a home entertainment PC I think.
