From what I'm seeing, you've installed new drivers on top of old ones and that can cause all kinds of issues. Try running DDU to clear out all traces of your current driver installation and then do a fresh install afterwards. That just might fix your problem because installing new drivers over old drivers can cause a tonne of problems.

I always use DDU when installing or updating my driver package and I never have driver issues as a result.

I believe you, I just thought that I'd be remiss if I didn't at least mention it.
