I have recently been trying to install new drivers from nvidia for my gtx 780. I have tried to install from geforce experience and manual through the website. But after trying my computer reboots and leaves my computer without any drivers installed. So i just install the 331.65 driver disc that came included. Id really like to use newer drivers. Any help?

Let's break it down into steps :)
1: Download your new drivers,like these 335.23 WHQL and put them on your desktop for easy access

2: Download DDU(Display Driver Uninstaller,it cleans up leftover bits and your registry) DDU

3: Uninstall old NVIDIA display drivers via control panel -> Programs and features.

4: Restart in Safemode and run DDU,select nvidia drivers and clean.

5:Reboot normally and install the drivers on your desktop.

Follow those steps and you SHOULD have no problems

Ok, so I did as you said with the DDU and they wouldn't work, so i removed the graphics card (while the computer was off) and used a hair dryer on the PCI slot (on cool settings), then installed the drivers and they worked. So here are my steps, the DDU may or may not be necessary
1:turn off the computer. Remove the Graphics card and blow on the PCI express slot (with air compressor or hair dryer)
2: Put the graphics card back in
3:boot computer and download/install drivers from website
Optional/ may or may not help:After step two, do as CrispyChips suggests with the DDU
