yeah, ive pretty much tried everything. I'm starting to wonder if it is a hardware issue because i have been getting 'display driver error and recovered' messages.
Well you've got integrated graphics - just unplug your discrete GPU, plug your monitor directly into your motherboard, install the Intel GPU drivers, and see if the issues go away.

Normally if you wanted to use the Intel GPU with SVP you wouldn't need to uninstall your Nvidia drivers nor even physically remove the discrete GPU, but if you're possibly having hardware issues then that's a different story...
