I don't have that problem with the same graphics card and a gigabyte mother board in linux.

on the task bar?

Why are you clicking on it, is there a problem that you want to resolve.

I would suggest that you uninstall the NVIDIA software and then reinstall.

Sometimes just changing the resolution (or refresh) can help this.

Right click empty space on your desktop, select properties and then the settings tab.
Make sure your graphics are being controlled by your NVidia card.
Some motherboards have on board graphics capabilies, and if you install a PCI or PCIe graphics card the onboard graphics will normally get disabled by default, however if this is what you have done then it might be worth checking the CMOS settngs on start up to make sure you disable the on board graphics controller.
