I don't know how to explain this so i will just be basic.

I have an Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT graphics card. I recently installed the Windows 7 beta.

After everything was downloaded and installed correctly i sought to installing a few games (S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky, Garrysmod, Halflife 2 etc). All of the games seemed to load up fine but when playing they start to glitch out, models get stretched, textures mess up and then shortly after, the game crashes along with my computer. I realised i probably needed to update my driver so i did so, updating it to the http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/win7_winvista_32bit_190.62_whql_uk.html After everything was correctly installed i rebooted to find my desktop behaving rather strange, colourful pixel dots flashing up, and strange graphical errors, shortly after my computer crashes and reboots into safe mode. To fix this problem i have to roll back the driver to the Windows 7 default one (The one which wont let me play games on).

What can i do?!

Sounds like a hardware issue. I'm not a big fan of Nvidia to be honest. Was your graphics card a recent purchase or have you had it for a while (ie: before installing Windows 7)?

It's likely something that they haven't worked out of the Windows 7 beta. I hope you took the websites advice and used a test computer or at least a seperate hard drive/hard drive partition.
