Sudden performance drop after driver install

[ShadowsVoid]

Recently I've updated my video drivers and noticed a performance drop throughout all of my games. I used to be able to run BF4 at Ultra 60 fps but now runs 40 fps on low. When I updated my drivers my PC black screened on me, I had to restart by pressing the power button. Intel graphics was also enabled too.
To bring it up, windows was being weird too. It kept saying "restarting" when I booted my PC.

What I've done so far is download Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) and removed all video drivers including the intel onboard graphics. I then installed the latest geforce drivers without problem.

I launched a game and I'm still getting low performance, can someone please offer help?

MSI GTX 970
i7 4770 @3.4GHz
Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5 mobo
8GB RAM

I've checked my temps and they are all running fine

it sounds like the issue you are having is with the latest geforce driver. you should try to find the previews version of the driver to get the performance back. usully you can do this by going into device manager and rollback the driver but since you cleaned out all the drivers you will have to find somewhere to get the last version of it
