    Concerned about updating computer's drivers

    Hi There, I think it's quite a reasonable request. Occasionally Drivers will need to be updated as bugs are found and fixed, and also may be required once Windows itself has updated from time to time, to maintain stability (Not lose it) I'm guessing the first driver install you tried didn't...

    Monitor Looks awful, even at Native Resolution

    Need Help With Partition

    How do you go about connecting 4 pin molex fans?

    GPU got Downgraded?

    Saves having to do a bunch of updates after a clean install. (I just built a new PC and made sure I created a new USB stick beforehand so I didn't have to download to many updates thereafter)
