I can answer technical questions about installation, use, and maintinence of most 3D Graphics hardware, and software. I can offer assistance with overclocking (while I do not suggest overclocking while under warranty) and I can give assistance with more complicated problems to the full extent of my abilities.
I have been into computer hardware, especially 3D graphics and the hardware that drives them, for a number of years. I have knowledge in installation, use, troubleshooting, purchase suggestions and over clocking.

Looks like a fairly dated workstation computer from the mid 2000's. The Matrox graphics adapter installed won't support DirectX 9 (likely won't support DirectX 8 even), and the system only has an AGP slot
Yes, the Radeon 7000 will offer less features and less processing power than the onboard GeForce 6150, you'll lose DirectX 9 support (which means Aero, if using Windows Vista or Windows 7), among other
Drivers are always free from the vendor, you simply have to know the hardware you're installing drivers for, I would suggest checking Toshiba's website first, having the model number is the biggest key
Can you give me some more information about the PSU you replaced, and the PSU you replaced it with? Also, does the system work with the FX 5200 installed? I'm thinking the 8400 you've got is just bad
No, generally you cannot disconnect hardware while the computer is powered on, nor can you disconnect the auxilary power cable to the 9600GT while its running, you risk heavy damage to the computer, and
