Uninstalled drivers with DDU, now Windows won't boot

I previously posted several months ago on the forum after a ton of Blue Screens of Death and crashes/restarts, and eventually everything was solved.

Recently I started having problems again. I got steady and frequent crashes while gaming (Elite: Dangerous, World of Warcraft, and 7 Days to Die, mostly). So I decided to uninstall my AMD drivers (16.4.2) with Display Driver Uninstaller and try a newer set. I used DDU and uninstalled the AMD drivers in Safe Mode, restarted, the ASUS boot screen came up, the dots started spinning, and after a few seconds it froze (kind of like this pic I found online).

After a lot of trial and error I established that the computer won't boot up to the Windows login screen if my Radeon HD 7970 is installed. If I remove the card and plug the HDMI back into the onboard video, everything's fine and I have a functioning computer...but not one I can game with.

I've tried:

• Uninstalling/re-installing the same AMD drivers I used before.
• Installing more current AMD drivers.
• Installing AMD drivers before installing the card.
• Installing the card before installing the AMD drivers.
• Reinstalling Windows 10 ("reset this PC" option).
• Updating chipset, VGA, USB, and onboard video drivers available via my motherboard manufacturer's website.

Things I noticed:

• This started shortly after a Windows 10 update.
• Windows Updates continued to redownload/install the 16.4.2 drivers after I would uninstall them; it kept doing it even after I uninstalled the card.
• The card had zero issues up until I uninstalled the drivers, outside of frequent crashes while gaming (which I figured might just be a software or driver issue), and now it's like it isn't being recognized during the boot process which causes my computer to freeze.

I have yet to try:

• Reinstalling or flashing the BIOS. I already know I have the most recent BIOS, and messing with the BIOS is a last resort for me.

• Formatting the SSD and reinstalling Windows 7 or Windows 10. I'm getting tempted to try this, especially with Windows 7; Windows 10 has been kind of a mess for me ever since I upgraded to it.

Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated.

(Edited for detail and clarification.)
