    I have an N82jv. I just installed a fresh clean copy of windows 7. The latest intel HD drivers install fine. With the nvidia card uninstalled (vga graphics), everything looks fine. As soon as I install the nvidia driver, subtle artifacts and distortions appear all over the screen. It's most noticeable when watching a movie as edges will appear jagged and motion appears blocky.

    I've tried 258.96, 257.41, and the basic 189.64. I uninstall and drive sweep in safe mode each time i try a new driver. As soon as I uninstall the nvidia drivers, my graphics return to normal.

    This is my second clean install. For some strange reason I was able to get the 258.96 drivers to work perfectly after a barrage of installing and uninstalling intel/nvidia drivers during my last run. I can't seem to repeat those results. Has anybody experienced this and have any suggestions? Thanks.

    UPDATE: Sorry to waste the space.
    After the 5th time of uninstalling everything, rebooting countless times, sweeping and cleaning, the 259.32 drivers are artifact free. Sometimes I really hate technology.
