Hello Questionmaster,

Please note that the operating system should not crash since you will install the graphics driver. Note that every single update is design to fix known issues on the graphics controller and so improve the performance in the unit.

You can download the latest graphics driver from our side at the following link:

For Windows* 7 64 bit:

It is important to mention that the drivers we have are generic drivers. In the case that you install it and it may not work properly I recommend you downloading the driver that the system manufacturer provides.
