Question about System Event ID using Omega 1.5303

Forgive me if this has been discussed before, I tried searching the forums regarding this question, but was unable to find anything.

I am running a Dell Dimension 8300, P4 2.8C, 1Gb ram, Windows XP Professional SP1 with a craptacular GeForce 5200 Non ultra. I know it sucks, but it's my work computer. The video card blows so bad, I can't even play Warcraft III in anything more than 800x600 16bit color, so I started searching the net to see if there was anything that could be done to increase the performance. I came across the Omega Drivers and decided to try them. I installed version 1.5303 in performance mode rebooted and tested. Everything worked fine, and gained a small increase in performance, but most games were still not playable. I went into the Nvidia Control Panel and used the "auto-detect" in the "Clock Frequencies", which moved my Core Speed from 250 Mhz to 306 Mhz, and my Memory Speed from 400 Mhz to 514 Mhz. Everything still runs fine, and gained enough performance to play some games. What I wasn't expecting was the System Event Log to be filled with warnings. My system event log is full of Event ID 107's. Which say:

Source: nv
Category: none
Type: Warning
Event ID: 107
Description:
Silent Running: rising temperature caused new fan speed = L1 -> L0

I assume that this is related to the Omega Drivers, but if I am not correct, let me know. I only assumed this because using the Official Nvidia Drivers, I didn't have anything in the event viewer, and it was also overclocked, but not as high (298/499). I don't mind these errors in my Event Viewer, but my boss minds, because they asked me why my video card drivers were posting all those event about fan speed when I don't do anything at work that is graphicly intensive. What I am trying to get at, is there a way to disable the Omega Drivers or whatever program from posting those events?

I went ahead and moved my card pretty much back to what the Official Nvidia Drivers would auto detect (300/500), and ran a game for 45 minutes, and nothing showed up in the event log. However the frame rate wasn't great (as expected with this PoS card). Even though I am supposed to be working at work, the video card runs fine at the higher speeds, it just generates a ton of events (about 20 in 35 minutes). If possible I would prefer to disable the logging of anything that comes from the source of "nv". If it is not possible, then it no big deal, I just thought I would check to see if anyone had seen this before or knew how to disable it.

this is exactly what i get, during this time, the frame rate in game is like ... 20 - 4 fps, :/
for cs that is, while originally its 100

i don't know why this is happening....

I have enough cooling for my GFX card ffs... its got a processor fan stuck on it...

btw, i have the exact same card.. GeForce FX5200 128 Meg

and the exactly logging in the event viewer
