Hello,
Im trying to sort out my mates PC for him... He keeps getting crashes on windows 7 like 3/4 daily. He has an APU and a nvidia GPU, so I was wondering if i could disable the APU you part of it and just use it as a CPU? I think the APU and GPU are causing the crashes!

-Ive checked the hardware of his computer and it all runs fine

Thanks for any advice!

Depending on MB, APU can be disabled thru BIOS or it may have done it automatically. Check device manager and see if it's there or not. If it isn't, that means it's disabled by BIOS, if it's there, you can just disable it's driver.
