Windows 10: Computer stops working correctly after graphics drivers

I recently built this pc and for a while was using the integrated graphics without knowing, after i realized this i tried to access my gpu by using a different pcie port and downloading the drivers. What happens, though, after downloading the drivers whether manually or letting windows do this on its own, the pc stops functioning correctly. system apps like settings wont launch, i am unable to run apps as administrator, apps i download will not run, and the computer essentially stops functioning. i have no idea why this would be happening, and ive tried any solution you can think of. sfc scan,

:)

 

Graphics driver randomly stops working.

Sometimes my graphics driver will stop working. A restart will usually fix it, but it is inconvenient. This never happened until I installed a fresh Windows install onto my new SSD (Upgraded from HDD). Before that, I had no trouble. Currently using NVIDIA driver version 397.31. About to upgrade to 397.64 to see what happens.

Symptoms:

• Windows Ink Workspace Screen Sketch will be unavailable.
• Some games will either not launch or have graphical errors
• Online videos (YouTube, imgur, Reddit, etc.) will not work or display incorrectly.

Specs:

• i3-3220
• GTX 1060 6GB
• 8GB RAM
