I installed DDU to remove all current drivers and the second I install any version of the Nvidia driver for my card my system will start artifacting/slowing/crashing. I noticed this when windows would automatically reinstall the video driver after using DDU to remove it. I could boot normally again using windows basic driver, but then suddenly the driver installs on it's own (through windows I am guessing) and my system would crash forcing me to boot into safe mode where I can run DDU to remove the drivers again. I found an option to disable windows from updating the driver within DDU and turned that on. I rebooted normally and it seems stable enough as long as the Nvidia driver does not install. What are my options here? Will a new video card stop this? I am thinking of switching to an AMD card anyways.

Not sure though, I currently have to run my pc with the nvidia drivers uninstalled. The second i install them i get blue screened and have to boot into safe mode to remove the drivers again.
