    Install Direct X driver`s

    Download: DirectX End-User Runtime - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details

    If still getting the corrupt graphics

    EDIT : When you install Nvidia Driver`s if you select custom install, you sometimes get the option to do a clean install, then driver will be uninstalled then reboot and then start installing the driver automaticaly

    Uninstall Nvidia driver`s , run driver sweeper then re-install Nvidia Driver`s , make a system restore point before you do anything.
