After it loads my saved game it freezes, flashes black bars and screens, and shows a multicolored pixelated screen then a message pups up saying my nvidia driver has crashed and recovered. I have been searching forever and have found no solutions that have worked. PLEASE HELP ME. I can post pictures of the message and the screen if it helps.

That's absolutely fine. Yes, try re-seating your graphics card, and maybe reinstalling the drivers along with installing the latest GTA IV patch.
