I was playing Wildstar today when all of a sudden my screen went black. Thinking I just needed to restart, I did so. When I got back to my desktop, I tried to open Google Chrome and, after it begins to pop up, the screen goes black and comes back a few times, the there is a warning on the bottom that says that my drivers have failed and recovered successfully.
This happens whenever I try to open any program or application now, with the exception of Steam, which it somehow allows to open flawlessly. And sometimes I'll even get a BSOD that states that the "attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed." Opening up the Task Manager reveals that my CPU is near or on 100% for some reason, even when just opening Chrome.
I just bought a new graphics card, a Radeon R7 265, and it has been working great for the past three days since it arrived. But now I can't seem to get over this issue. I've tried completely cleaning out the AMD drivers with Driver Sweeper to no effect.

EDIT: Everything runs fine when I'm in Safe Mode, except I can't play games, or when I'm only using the VGA drivers that come with the graphics card.
