Have you tried uninstalling all the drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller first? If not, I recommend doing that and reinstalling the drivers right away.

I have tried in safe mode but it keeps telling me i'm not allowed to on the admin account which is the only account i have on the computer and when i do it booted up it won't let me unless i am in safe mode

Have you tried changing your Nvidia Control panel performance setting and make sure its set to Maximum/performance?

Hi MeccaCrisis,

Please try running Display Driver Uninstaller first to completely remove your old graphics card drivers and then install new drivers from NVIDIA's website. If you should need further assistance you can reach out to our Support Team via Live Chat at www.zotac.com/support or emailing support@zotac.com.

Sincerely,
