I have a GeForce 7300 LE and have exactly the same issue. I also get random black and white blocks and garbled characters during boot up. I tried the nvidia-173 driver, but this was worse for me. With the 173 driver I get the same black and white garbled stuff on the login screen too. Also, a restart does not help. It remains garbled and black and white until the PC is cold booted (powered off for a few seconds), so it seems to mess up the card so bad it cannot even hard reset!
