Reinstall the drivers
update the drivers for them
ok now it crashes on startup
what happens if you use a clean install with updated NVidia drivers?
those have been in there for a long time and haven't caused me any problems, do you think removing them would fix the problem?
i'm a complete idiot time and time again apparently. it seems the root of the problem was reshade not liking the new drivers, so i removed reshade and it works fine now.
