Can I update my nvidia drivers after installing CUDA and CUDNN without messing up with my CUDA installation?
I want to update my nvidia drivers from 375 to the latest one on my linux mint 18.1 because I'm having screen corruption after resume from suspend. But I have already installed CUDA Toolkit and CUDNN. Is it possible to directly update with no problem or do I have to reinstall everything again?

I had the same problem and I just solved it by following this gist: install NVIDIA driver
If you have already installed CUDA and CUDnn, that means you have the run (or deb) file for CUDA and the not-so-heavy cudnn source files too. Following the above link, you might have to purge your current cuda installation for a while, but it can be easily installed once you have upgraded your NVIDIA drivers.
I highly recommend that you purge your current installation of CUDA before going ahead, as a lot of links are formed during the installation, which might be the cause of the screen corruption that you faced.
