So this started maybe 6 months ago, the first time I started a new game after installing a GPU driver, my PC would crash to a black screen as soon as the game launched, usually, after a restart it would work fine, but sometimes it would take a couple.

I've been on the 572.60 drivers for some time now, with zero issues, but yesterday I decided to install the 572.70 drivers. After installng the drivers all worked fine and games were running smoothly, today, I started up my PC and every game I tried immidately crashed to a black screen, I rebooted multiple times, tried multiple games, some only crashed when loading into the gameplay, others crashed in the menu.

So I though I'd check GPU stats using Afterburned and while setting it all up, this happened

What happens when you BOOT in safe mode ? That should eliminate driver problems which are likely cause.
