Laptop not working after driver update

Hi, I have an Inspiron 15-5584 and I just updated drivers based on recommendations by Dell SupportAssist.  Now everything is much slower, especially on graphics-heavy websites, or the laptop just freezes entirely and I have to do a hard reset.  Is there any fix for this?  Thanks!

Use the system restore to take the system back to before you installed the drivers -- then manually install each driver from the list that Support Assist gives you.

Go back and uninstall the driver updates. Then reboot and re-apply them one by one until the problem reappears.  Alternatively, uninstall each until the problem disappears.

Thanks.  Can you tell me where to find the most recent driver updates to uninstall?  I didn't even look at what I was installing.  I just saw that there were recommended updates and clicked "ok."
