I keep getting a message that my display driver is crashing. I'm going to try and reinstall the drivers. Do I need to uninstall the current driver I'm using?

Yes, uninstall the current driver, then install the new one after performing a restart.

If you want to reinstall them you might get a "repair" option in which case you should choose that one. I'm not very sure if it would be smart to uninstall your display drivers...

Can't you just update them?

You can uninstall them without any issue, I've done it dozens of times.
