Street Scene: Photoshop crashing

So recently I've run into a slight problem. By slight I mean huge. I updated my drivers, as you do when there's a new update, and thought nothing else about it. When I next went to use Photoshop however, I experienced some unusual crashes. It started off when I tried to offset an image so that it would tile nicely, when just clicking offset crashed the program. So I restarted Photoshop, opened my image again, pressed offset, and it crashed. This happened once more before actually working.

Now that I had finally offset the image I wanted to edit it. Clicking the clone stamp tool crashed the program. It was very clear now that something was wrong so I headed in to university to ask my module leader what the issue could be. After explaining the situation he suggested it could be my GPU settings in Photoshop which when I got home and checked, I found out the latest updates had caused an error and would no longer allow my graphics card to interact with Photoshop.

I've tried to update the drivers and reset everything but so far there isn't any new developments. This means my only current solution is to do all of my texturing and artwork in the labs at my university, which isn't too bad an option considering the circumstances. The only other thing I can think of is completely uninstall then reinstall the program, which I'll try at some point soon.
