AMD 7850K APU Drivers

[Charlie Crowell]

So I have an issue with my new PC build when installing my APU's Drivers.
When installing it completely crashes the PC and I have to restore my fresh copy of windows.

Which driver?

Use the drivers from the motherboards website. I installed the Beta driver for mine (so I could use Mantel) with no issues on a Gigabyte A88 board.
