You'll need to boot into safe mode to actually be able to remove the display drivers, in normal mode they're in use and thus can't be removed.
I'd recommend doing so with Display Driver Uninstaller because it'll change for 1time the settings of Windows Update so Windows Update won't install the driver again when you reboot.
Thanks axe0,
Could you tell me which link is best for downloading the driver uninstaller from, as I've found several links on Google?
Hi Wixi.
Please use the following link to download the latest version of DDU:
Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 15.7.5.3
Thanks Boris.
I though I'd already downloaded the older driver you posted a link to earlier, but must have forgotten to do so. When I clicked the link just now it displays "file not found". I've searched around for another download link for this driver version but can only find ones for Windows 8.1 and 10, not 7.
Hi Boris,
Sorry, I should have been more specific. I meant this link, for the older version of the AMD driver: when I clicked it, it said "not found".

Hi Wixi.
After having a bit of a struggle finding the page I wanted, I stumbled across it at the AMD support forum, so here you'll find a list of previous driver versions for AMD based GPUs:

I would recommend that you try the 15.7, because didn't you say that the problems started after having installed 15.7.1?
Cheers, Boris :)
Hi Boris, thanks for the link.
I knew the driver links were somewhere on that site but couldn't find them.
The 15.7.1 driver caused a BSOD when I tried to install it, so I'm really hoping this older version won't do the same. I'm still a bit wary after last time.
Hi Boris,
Sorry for the delay. So far things seem stable after running the uninstaller and installing the new driver.
I haven't had any BSODs so far either. Thanks! :)
