Windows 7 No crash in safe mode, otherwise random crashes. Update of nvidia drivers leads to BSOD on startup

A couple of weeks ago my computer started to randomly freeze up, anywhere from immediately after the login screen to 2+ hrs of uptime. Now, I can't get past the login screen without the computer freezing. I'm able to get into safe mode without any errors, and after some research I've done the following:

This thread showed a similar problem, so I've removed Daemon tools and disabled SPTD:
http://windows7forums.com/blue-screen-death-bsod/54654-no-crash-safe-mode-seemingly-random-crashes-otherwise.html

I then analyzed my most recent .dmp file, and this was the exact error that popped up:
Bsod video_tdr_timeout_detected - Windows 7 Forums

I then downloaded the most recent nvidia drivers and via the .exe, updated my drivers. Now, when I attempt to boot up my machine, after the login screen I get the BSOD for a second, and the computer resets. I'm at a loss on where to go from here.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Tried a clean install of my video drivers using drive sweeper and at least now windows loads, but back to the random crashes. If I let the computer sit idle nothing happens, but any soft of activity crashes it.
This is the copy of my most recent crash:
