Hello, recently I made a deal with a friend to trade computers, i gave him my old desktop with an AMD cpu and no graphics card, and he gave me his desktop with an i7 and I put my graphics card in. We also switched hard drives. When I initially started the new pc up it ran like nothing had changed, I proceeded to install some of the Intel drivers and all went well. When I game all my games run fine except I run across the occasional game that will completely crash my pc. And they only do so after a while of playing. Examples are rise of nations and war thunder. my guess is that it has to do with old driver conflicts between AMD and Intel but i'm not entirely sure. Any thoughts?

I will also mention that before, my friend did not run the i7 with a graphics card and it was oced from 3.5 to 4.5. However i did add the gtx 660, though id imagine if power shortage was an issue it would be in all my games instead of a select few.

Yup, I just took the hard drive out of the old computer and put it into the new, the new pc had been running windows 7 as well.

Ah ok I found it, running it now, then it will reboot and I reinstall all my drivers?

So i completed sysprep and it restarted and I had to make a new profile, and I need to supply a key which is fine. but my GFX driver still looks like it is there, is this bad?

I just did sysprep again with generalize and the GPU driver is still there, as are all my motherboard drivers.

I think I'm going to reinstall windows as I need to anyways. thank you for your assistance delellod123 and Pondering. I will report back when I have verification that this worked, which it most likely will.
