Recently my display drivers have not been working properly, first happened while playing a game when my screen became fully distorted (to the point i could not see what I was doing). I closed the game and it did not make a difference, after 3 restarts the problem continued (this is all on desktop, did not try to reload the game) but now every few minutes the drivers crash. I ended up going into safe mode and using driver sweeper to get rid of all my drivers (not sure what version I was previously running although it was older). When I have no drivers downloaded the system works fine aside from the obvious lack of gfx although any driver version I install causes the same issue. I did recently update my java so that could have had something to do with it, but I tried uninstalling java completely and still nothing. Computer specs are as follows

Intel i7-3770k
EVGA gtx 670
Asus p8z77-v lx mobo
8 gb corsair xms3 ram
intel 840 series ssd
corsair 750 watt power supply
win 7 ultimate 64 bit
