PROBLEM SOLVED:
I had the same problem with an HP HDX18 with the nVidia GeForce 9600M GT.. First with Vista 64 and then with Win 7 64 in-place upgrade, then with a clean disk install, when I would install any nvidia driver dated after July 2008, the display would flicker, freeze, go black, then come back showing the message "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered". tBasically the driver crashes every minute or so.
I ran across this thread on the nVidia forums and it completely fixes the problem. According to the posters, it's totally an nVida issue because the chip does the same thing on Macs too. It's a little complicated to implement in that you have to add 4 keys to the system registry. But in 10 minutes I had solved my problem with the only side affect that my display GPU runs 5 deg. C hotter. (The fix has something to do with system that slows the GPU to keep the temps down.

I'm a computer expert who was so disheartened by this issue because i figured i'd never figure it out. I couldn't believe that it worked just like that.
I'll paste the guts of the fix and add my hints in CAPS.
1.Open up Regedit and go to \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\********\0000\
The *'s will be random numbers. There will be a few of them, pick the one with the most stuff in it.
[THIS SEEMED A LITTLE VAGUE, BUT THERE WERE IN FACT SEVERAL KEYS **** AND BENEATH THOSE, A COUPLE OF THEM HAD \0000\ AND \0001\. FEELING AROUND A BIT, IT WAS EVIDENT THAT ONE HAD SOME NVIDIA-SOUNDING CLUES AND CHOSE THAT ONE]
2.Create the 4 Powermizer keys (these will all be DWORD):
[JUST RIGHT-CLICK TO THE RIGHT OF THE CHOSEN SECTION AND YOU'LL HAVE THE OPTION TO CREATE A NEW KEY.]
PerfLevelSrc
PowerMizerEnable
PowermizerLevel
PowermizerLevelAC
3.Change the values (double click on them) to:
[i CHOSE HEX, NOT DECIMAL, HERE WHICH OBVIOUSLY WAS ONLY RELEVANT TO THE FIRST VALUE]
PerfLevelSrc 3322 (I changed to 2222 to completely disable PowerMizer)
PowerMizerEnable 0
PowermizerLevel 1
PowermizerLevelAC 1
4.Reboot and Powermizer will be disabled!
[NOW HERE'S A WEIRD THING. FEARING THE POTENTIAL OF INCREASED HEAT, I WENT BACK IN TO PLAY WITH THE NUMBERS. i EVEN SET POWERMIXERENABLE TO 1 AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL GONE.
LET ME KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.]
