That's absolutelly fine!
Flashed BIOS to 4.70 and it worked for about 5 minutes! got amazed, well soon outta nowhere little green vertical lines showed up and were back to the start, downloading 179.48 driver right now from Nvidia right now, seems it had an update since the file is larger than I remember.

FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!

Did system recovery and the little squares went away.
Installed the driver manually, through Control Panel and restarted.
Tested AoE III and it works!!!! OH IM SOOOOOOO HAPPY

disregard all.

A day later it came back to the way it was, starting to think it has to do with the motherboard's video.

jotage, try these drivers NVIDIA DRIVERS 179.48 BETA i have had great success with them on my inspiron 9400 with the 7900gs card ,keep a constant eye on the gpu temps, the solder on these cards is of very poor quality, the constant cycling of heating and cooling has a detrimental effect causing micro fissures on the circuit board leading to artifacts like you describe

Thanks for the info!
However I had this driver installed when everything started, and this was the driver installed when I had it fixed and everything came on a day later.

Will definatelly take it to authorized personell when I have time and see if they can make it work once and for all
Keep me posted though!
**EDIT: Also, I wonder why it displays this driver as compatible with the 7900GS if the 7900GS is not on the supported products list, why?
