So I have a Nvidia GTX 660 sc. (337.50)
i5-2500k 3.30Ghz
16GB ram
Bought a higher tier PSU as suggested by someone, did not help at all.
I play on a 55" tv through HDMI 1920x1080 res.
As well as a smaller 1680x1080 res computer monitor with VGA I believe. Both are running and my TV is used for games.

A lot of games usually ran fine but Titanfall kept crashing with the Geforce Experience has stopped working/encountered an error. Display adapter has 'recovered'.

Now even on a Feed the Beast mod for Minecraft it's crashing, it doesn't seem to be even close to overheating I even did a custom fan curve so it stayed around 40-50 Celsius at the most intensive moments.

I have downgraded, upgraded driver versions over and over, reinstalled over and over but nope.

Also I removed AMD drivers from my computer with some kind of software, then looked up guides on manually removing from my registry/folders (hidden ones as well obviously). Now on startup I get a cmd prompt and an error message saying some portion of AMD obviously couldn't find a file to launch.

I had the same problem. You could try to down clock the card on the stock voltage or over volting your card. For e.g stock voltage is 1.38, add +30. => 1.68!
A higher tiered PSU will help you for the future, always good to have. Part of me thinks it was me that recommended that :/

I had the same problem awhile back and was never able to fix it. Then I found out I actually had a bad RAM stick. Not saying thats probably your problem, but just saying it could be several things.
