    I replaced the motherboard in my E6400 with that of a Precision M2400. It only seems to work with the default driver. When I update the driver via device manager, Dell's website, Nvidia's auto hardware detect, or Nvidia manual graphics card select, it fails when I turn on the computer and do anything involving the graphics card use. Ex. dxdiag, a game, etc.
    I find it weird that it loads properly and seems to work with things like chrome, but I have not tested it for more than a few minutes like that. Games run very choppily with the default driver and Minecraft gives me the "Bad video card drivers" error that I cannot fix by updating my driver. I am running windows 8 32-bit which is supported with my card by Nvidia. What do I do?

    Try doing a clean install? It's really hard to say whether you have a hardware or software issue since you used an old installation here...
