I got a all in one water cooler, go ahead poke fun. I needed a cooler and it was on sale locally. So far $170 MB-APU, 32G @2400...

    Started having a problem with video driver crashing from last update a month ago. I noticed I was not getting the usual updates and downloaded AMD driver tool. It selected PCI HD3000 driver and I installed, eventually I figured out the problem and installed AGP driver. I felt that the wrong...
