reformatting the z81sp

I was just wondering if anybody could explain how i reinstall windows from the bios.

Last tuesday my z81 arrived at my house in south jersey. On thursday night my dad registered windows and installed ms office on it. Last night my brother brought it up to my university. The first thing that we loaded was half-life 2. When I loaded it up to play, there little shapes protrudeing from some of the model. The next thing we did was load up quake 4. Same problem. The next thing that we did was load on drivers from www.tweaksrus.com . This didn't help at all.

Today i called eddie over at geared2play.com to see if he could help tell me what i had to do to fix the problem, he told me to try reinstallin windows xp pro and all of the drivers. I was gonna call him back after I had sent him some screenshots of the problem in Half-Life 2, but I had an unexpected phone call from somebody from one of my classes about an upcoming project and couldn't get back to him before he got off. Man i really hope that this works. I really don't wanna have to send this thing away to find out what's wrong with it

 

Maybe you got the wrong drivers, try the official nVidia drivers and see if that fixes anything

 

Nvidia seems to be pulling the same crap that ati has always done and doesn't have any officia drivers for mobile cards.

besides, it was doing this b4 i loaded on the tweaked drivers. Also, eddie seemed pretty sure that if reinstalling everything wasn't going to work, then nothig will, and i really trust his expertise.

So....... can somebody explain how to reformat???
