It looks like you've gone through the same exact thing i did. the 9.8 drivers, although outdated, should have fixed your problems. if your looking for a recommendation... i would say try a new video card what worries me is if you had problems in xp, which is in my option is Microsoft most stable OS in which most drivers should work, then your problem may not have been a driver issue to begin with.
since my second post when i said the problem was fixed i have had no issues and my gfx cards have performed flawlessly. I'm still running the 9.8 drivers mainly because I'm too afraid to update and break it, why fix it if it ain't broke.
Good Luck!
