Recently I updated my nvidia drivers to the most recent and Ive been experiencing many issues.
When the installation was complete I had a runtime error terimation and then a message saying nvidia windows kernel stopped responding in which moments later it froze my laptop and I had to manually shut it down.
When I play games such as league of legends it also ended up freezing my laptop y50

Ive tried reinstalling drivers with driver sweeper and it did not help the issue.

So you are saying that you didn't have any problems at all before you updated the Nvidia drivers??

You can try installing the nvidia drivers in safe mode..

Is your laptop over heating?

Make sure to get your nvidia drivers from nvidia.com

and also when you install them, you can choose a "clean" install option which apparently does a fresh install of the drivers..

Should I not install them through geforce experience?

No, especially on laptops. They should be using drivers provided by the laptop manufacturer.

I see one from March on Lenovo site, I would install that one.

All you have given is Y50 so I found this,

Laptops and netbooks :: Lenovo Y Series laptops :: Y50 70 Notebook Lenovo - Lenovo Support (US)

They usually alter or repackage drivers for laptops to fit the specifics of that model or their setup, that's why it's always best to stick with those.

I agree but I also have a Lenovo Laptop (y410p)

I install the drivers via the nvidia website and select Geforce "M" the "M" stands for mobile.. laptop...

I have no issues.. I think you might be having some more conflict elsewhere.. but definitely try the Lenovo driver ..

(i have terrible feelings about Lenovo but don't get me started..)

Yeah, I'm sure a lot of people do that. But if there are driver problems it's best to start back with the laptop manufacturer.

They rarely get updated like desktop drivers do though so sometimes the next best option is to just uninstall from device manager and let windows install the driver it finds.

My Laptop Nvidia driver is 326.60 from Aug 2013 and there are no problems with games.
Nvidia Experience, which is up to date, says "your Geforce driver is up to date" last checked 10/12/15 with a big tick, I have the latest driver.....

In preference you should get drivers from the Laptop manufactuer they maybe modded slightly for Laptops. The ones directly from Nvidia may not be good for some Laptops.

There is no need to keep updating Video drivers, they may fix bugs in games you don't have, or cards which are not yours. If it ain't broke don't try and fix it.

Stuttering on YouTube videos is usually slow download speed, or you are riddled with Malware.

Ok what is the problem is your computer totally frozen? or games are just slow??

and look what is your exact video card? for example I have the 755m

so I go to nvidia page and get the exact 755m driver ..

now all these people saying go to your manufacturer website maybe forgot that you have a Lenovo.. and the thing they don't know is that Lenovo is terrible at keeping their drivers up-to-date for older type products and they come out with new products all the time..

also what other people are tending to forget is that nvidia made the specific card inside your laptop (most of the time) and for my example,

I have nvidia 755m card.. It is a specific card Nvidia makes for Mobile Laptops.. hence the "m" in 755!

Nvidia makes the latest drivers no matter what motherboard or manufacturer you got your computer from.. In Certain scenarios yes you will have to get the specific driver from your manufacturer but definitely not in this case if you have a very well-sold video card by nvidia that users can buy separate and install in their laptops no matter what manufacturer they have..

this is the case with my 755m which came preinstalled with my Lenovo laptop..
try the latest drivers for your very specific card from nvidia.. then try the manufacturer drivers and then if you still have problems image your drive with Macrium Reflect free and then save that to usb or external hard drive.. and then reinstall windows..

if you still have the problem after reinstalling windows you have a hardware problem..

and then because you imaged your drive before with macrium reflect you can always just put back your old windows install before any of this..

the other thing people dont know about Lenovo laptops is that they force lock them in the bios with things like fan speed control and speed control and heat safety...

your laptop im sure has these like mine and Lenovo locked them down so you can't manually control your fan or your speed of it.. It will automatically slow it self down incase of too much heat.. which also will ruin your gaming experience..

Lastly, do not use Gforce experience.. that is a program for people that are completely new to games and don't know what to set.. maybe that is you I dont know but it's something that will change settings for you without you doing it.. and trust me you will want to know what "you" are changing later on when you finally learn how to tweak and get the settings and performance you want out of "your" laptop..
