I'm glad you got it fixed. I mentioned that Safe Mode wasn't a good idea because of what you just found out, you can't update drivers. Now, these things here:
All of those are suspect except maybe Avast, but that has caused me problems in the past. It appears that Driverbooster replaced your working drivers with incorrect versions. It's an "IObit" program, they make a series of "helper" apps that may appear to be helpful but can cause problems like what you have just experienced.I uninstalled a bunch of programs that might be suspect.
Avast Anti Virus
Advanced System Care
Adaware
driverbooster
etc.
As far as Drivers, always depend on your hardware manufacturer sites, or, what Windows offers you, unless it is an NVidia card update in which case there is a 50% chance it will be an incorrect driver. But all other drivers I have ever gotten from MS update have been correct, so the trick is to update your Video card drivers before MS finds one for you.
If you avoid these driver update helper apps you should be fine from now on, good luck mate!
