    I'm glad I learned the lesson early on, and not with a computer full of data. I'll update drivers directly from the manufacturer

    [SOLVED] Driver booster absolutely SLAUGHTERED my pc

    Oh believe me, I learned my lesson. The problem is windows wont install. I even did the "completely clean the drive" option.
