Need desperate help with driver!

I recently got my Dimension 9200, upgraded to the 7900gs. I've had problems running F.E.A.R and recently I've been getting the nv4_disp "infinite loop" problem. I know this might be an issue with the card, but I hear updating the bios (with the recent bios) and updating the drivers can fix this problem.
 
I updated the bios, but updating the driver has been a disaster. According to device manager, I have version 8.4.4.0, with the driver date being in march, so I figure need to update. The problem is I dont really know what I should be getting. On Nvidia's the site the newest release seems to be ForceWare Release 80 Version: 84.63. I attempted to install that, however it wont install because there are setup issues with the hardware or something.
 
Is there another drive I should be downloading? A link or some help pointing me in the right direction would be awesome. As of now I'm frustrated and angry :p
 
Much thanks.

    From what I've read on some gaming forums, nVidia drivers can be a nightmare and you may need to roll back the driver to an older version. If nVidia has a forum, you might want to check there. Or do a search at MATY, http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?board=1.0
