I can see that the correct driver is loading now, so that's good.  But 
the driver is unable to get the valid modes from your monitor.

Try changing:

Subsection "Display"
         Depth       24
         Modes "1280x720"
EndSubsection

To:

Subsection "Display"
         Depth       24
         Modes "1366x768"
EndSubsection

Also, Gilbert's suggestion of running the Nvidia config app is a good 
one too.
