So recently I installed a new driver supplied from the GeForce Experience app. I believe it was version 361.43 or so. After installation, I turned off my computer. Come back next day. Turn on laptop, computer bugs out after signing in, then crashes... Now, Windows 10 responded with a few errors. First came DPC watchdog violation. Then came something like nvidkrnl or something. Then nvid something something Fatal error. Finally came less than or equal to. All error reports came on separate occasion. The second and third errors are recurring. Now, I tried uninstalling everything related to Nvidia to see if the issue will be gone (as this has happened before. Uninstalling everything fixed it last time ). None of my recovery points are present, and I am fresh out of ideas. Thank you in advance.
 
(everything I said here was in a private message. Which I hadn't intended to send a private message, so I'll just copy and paste everything I sent to Lut.)
It seems what you said will work as I can boot into safe mode. But, my question is how can I get these programs onto my computer? Internet access is denied through safe mode, and I can't download the software on my phone because my computer won't recognize my phone. How do I download the Uninstaller and the old driver onto my computer?


I have resolved the issue through the use of a USB and an OTG cable. Thank you for informing me of DDU. I will undoubtedly use that software again as this issue has happened before.

Well my computer crashed again with a different error. So I followed up with the same procedure to fix it. Except this time I did two different things. Instead of installing 359, I installed 361 again. And I also disabled Microsoft basic adapter in device manager. Things seem to be working and now I created a restore point so things don't go wrong.

(As a takeaway from this whole thing, if there is one thing I learned...CREATE RESTORE POINTS)
 
We could actually get alot more info if you could specify the internals of your Sager laptop. There could be an issue with your wireless/networking adapter.

Good idea regarding the restore points! They will come in handy though just to add a pinch of salt to your workings, please be sure to back up any/all critical data should something go bad and your installation partition goes missing(or the drive).
