Should I install new drivers before or after?

I had an EVGA Gtx 760 and replaced with an ASUS 1070 strix however I installed the card first and then the new drivers (forgot to uninstall old drivers) In order to uninstall old drivers would I have to connect the old card and uninstall all the drivers? The reason I ask is because since I got the new card, starting up my pc I run into a blue screen with an error message "windows ran into a problem and needs to restart"

I will say after a few restarts it'll start to work fine and can have it on all day without issues.

How do you recommend I do this. With the card in place or without and should I install the new drivers with or without the card in.
